Magnificent Spring 2022 Etro Runwy Look 38 Fully Sequinned Green Silk Chiffon Full Length Dress

Etro has been a long favourite of the jet set and they make some of the best prints in the world. This is a more recent dress from the Spring 2022 collection and its twin walked the runway for Look 38. It must have caught the eye of Nicole Kidman and her stylist because Nicole then wore one to her premiere in December 2021. I love that this gives you the perfect opportunity to see how fantastic this dress is on the body. One thing to note about this dress is that it was incredibly expensive at retail. I found a web page of it at various retailers and it's original price was just over $20,000.

This is an absolutely stunning dress and a testament that there are modern retailers doing things right. I think I also love it because it absolutely has the feel of piece from the 1960s. The base is a pale green crepe silk chiffon and then onto that are hundreds of thousands of the tiniest little sequins I have ever seen. Different hues of green are used to create that phenomenal pattern that runs over the entire dress. It has a nod to the 60s and 70s in the way the design is laid out over the dress and the precision and care where the pattern meets at the seams is something that I appreciate. This is something you mostly see in vintage pieces and not always in modern pieces. The dress itself is simple and easy to wear and very flattering on the body. It has a short capped and simple sleeve and a simple scoop at the neck. It skims over the bust and pass the waist. There is no seam anywhere to break the eye. It continues on a curve over the hips and then falls outwards into an A-line until it reaches the floor. The simplicity of the cut makes it so flattering on and it also allows that amazing design that covers the entire dress to shine. Those thousands of tiny sequins catch the light from every angle. It is really a stunning dress. Excellent condition.

Fully lined in a pale green silk and closes at the back with a hidden set zipper.
