• The twin of this dress was shown for Look 52 for the Spring 2008 Versace collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of Donatella Versace.
• This was part of the closing look of a series of bright candy coloured dresses Vogue's review of the show said that "Versace for spring was one of those idea confirming shows were a designer picks out a latent trend and coheres it into critical mass before your very eyes. This season in Milan it took Donatella Versace to get hold of drapey, flowy, goddessey dressing and make it look hot, easy and believable. Her beautifully constructed silk jersey dresses ran the gambut from day to night in a rainbow of colours with each piece gorgeous in its own right.... proof that Donatella Versace is at the top of her game."
• The dress is made from gorgeous pinky coral silk chiffon used for the main portion of the dress and this is combined with a silk chiffon panel that runs down from one shoulder. The silk used is feather light so feels magical once on.
• The dress is gathered up and into the bodice where it has been tightly gathered horizontally across the bust. A band that has tiny flat pleats stacked on top of each other runs across the top of the bodice and is set on an angle underneath.
• A tiny strap circles up and over one shoulder and then a wider chiffon strap curves over the other. The band that runs around the top of the bodice extends out to wrap around the outside of the arm.
• That silk chiffon panel that curves over the shoulder falls into a long panel of silk chiffon that widens out substantially as it nears the floor. It is cut to go to just past the hem of the dress and it creates beautiful movement around and behind you as you move.
• From the angled band that sits under the bodice the dress simply drapes and skims over the waist and hips.  
• The lower skirt is full and open with tons of silk chiffon. Underneath the top layer of chiffon there is a matching colour jersey layer which makes it all incredibly comfortable to wear. The back of the skirt falls slightly longer then the front. This combination of cut and fabric allows for fantastic movement around you as you move. 
  
• The dress is lined in a matching silk through the bust and a stretch silk jersey through the skirt. It closes with a combination of a hidden side zipper and hook & eye. There is a lightly boned partial inner corset piece under the bust. The inner corset has its own zipper. I see some very minor tiny marks on the inside lining near the hem and near the bottom edge of the draped panel. Both are very minor but mentioned for accuracy.

• The twin of this dress walked the runway for Look 36 of the Spring 2015 collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of Peter Dundas. 
  
• In the coverage for this collection, Vogue said that Peter Dundas "understands the value of power casting; he had Naomi Campbell in his lineup for the first time today. Ogling the models is understandable enough – they are inches from your eyeballs at the Palazzo Serbelloni venue. But if you do, you might miss the artisanal details at Dundas has made as much a contemporary Pucci signature as the Florentine house's famous archival prints." 
• They also specifically tie dye dresses saying that "if they look like the real thing, that's because the prince were based on get your hand, dirty trial and error." I love that we know that these were all specifically developed and done by hand!
• I love that the runway photos and video show you just how gorgeous this is on the body and how it moves. I just had this dress in the shop recently in a longer length and I am very happy to have found this version so soon.
• The tie dye is done on an ultra light-in-weight silk chiffon with the upper bodice covered in a mix of domed silver studs embroidery sequins and bead work all done by hand.
• The upper bodice has a yoked front that extends down into a curve point and scoops at the neck line. The straps curved around at the front on either side of the neck and then trail down the outside of your back to meet the top of a low scoop there that leaves your back bare and exposed.
• It is covered in silver dome beads, and then has a pretty pattern that mixes flowers with pink mirrored parts, beadwork embroidery and more various sized silver beads.
• Where that attaches into the dress there are little bits of nude netting with a silk ladder pattern and I love this little unexpected bit of skin that it allows to show through the net.
• There are many many yards of that fantastic feather light silk chiffon used for the dress. It is set on gathered angled panels that skims over the bust and around to the back. 
• Two layers of tie dye chiffon are set in under that and these opens out over the waist and hips and just continue to become wider so that it is extremely full by the hem.
• I love how the front is cut shorter, and then the back swoops down to a longer length. This cut helps the silk to pick up any air at all and out around you. You can see that in the video on the runway.
• The print on the silk combines a beautiful pattern that ranges from deep to soft corals and a purple to a periwinkle.
• I love that the tie-dye on both layers have been matched so you get a print on print depth that would not exist otherwise if they had not done it this way. It is very beautiful.
  
• There is a tremendous amount of fabric in the skirt. The lightness of the silk layers have phenomenal movement around you as you move.
• The dress is one of my favourites of all the modern pieces of Pucci that I have seen and the era that Peter Dundas was the creative director at Pucci is 100% my favourite of the modern predecessors to Emilio.
• The top part of bodice is backed in a matching coral silk and the skirt has three layers as described above. It closes at the back. with a hidden set zipper. The fabric is signed throughout. I see a tiny repair at the edge of the netting at the front. Please see the photo to show you both the front and back of that after the label shot.

• The twin of this dress was featured in the Cult Gaia Lookbook for the Resort 2019 collection.
• It was made under the Creative Direction of Jasmin Larian Hekmat.
• Hekmat founded the label in 2012 and it is based in Los Angeles. The label's name comes from mixing 'Gaia' (the goddess of Mother Earth) with 'Cult'  which she meant to reflect the idea of a community built around organic design, nature and the power of femininity.
• The label names their dresses and this one was called Cosette. It was produced in several colours, one of which was this gorgeous pinky coral that is noted on the tag as being the 'bubblegum' colour.
• The dress is made so that it all falls from a single shoulder on one side to create a beautiful drape down and over the body.
• The bust angles on a slight curve up to a wide gathered shoulder. This extends out to become a part of the dramatic caped panel that falls all the way to slightly past the floor. It leaves the other shoulder bare and exposed.
• The dress drapes and skims over the bust and curves in at the waist. From there it curves back out over the the hips.
• At the waist there is a large open cut out circle on both sides that goes from the waist down over the outer hip. To hold this in place around you there is an elastic strap in the same colour that loops around you. The strap is removable so if you prefer the circles completely wide open you can wear it that way as well. It is very sexy.
• The open cutouts already add drama to the dress and then that cascading panel down the one side adds even more to the extraordinary beauty of the dress.
• The panel that is attached to the shoulder curves and cascades over the arm and all the way down the body. As the panel falls down the side of the body it extends just past the hem. 
• On one side of the skirt there is a high side slit so that when you move or sit you get a flash of bare leg.
• It is absolutely the most flattering dress once on the body and it has beautiful movement.
• The dress is fully lined in matching fabric. It closes with a hidden side set zipper and the band that slips around the waist hooks to close. The band is removable. I see a very faint mark the front but the dress is new with tags and was never worn. Please see the photo after the label shot. The colour is perhaps a touch more pastel than how it photographed.
