This little silk dress is quite wonderful. The colors are a combination of black, green and the iconic Valentino red in a huge and vibrant rose that covers the entire surface. It is a stunning and classic little dress and is exactly what one would expect from a Valentino piece. The fabric is a beautiful light silk of very high quality. The top crosses over itself above a nipped in waist and slim cut skirt. The sleeves are long and lean and the shoulders strong. They do not have any padding but I suspect that they once did - you could easily add a light pad back in if you prefer it to look and feel more structured. Excellent condition.
Interlined with a black silk chiffon and closes with a side zipper. Each cuff has a hidden set zipper as well.A beaded loop sits at one side.
