Prettiest Pre-Fall 2020 Gucci by Alessandro Michele Yellow Silk Dress Caftan w Jewel Collar & Front
The twin of the dress was shown for the Pre-Fall 2020 Gucci presentation for Look 51. Its twin was worn on the red carpet by Rachel and one was also photoed for Grazia Italie. This has always been one of my favourites from his work for the label and I am very pleased to have it in the shop. It is so pretty and the bright colour of it is gorgeous.
If you love an amazing caftan feeling moment then this is the dress for you. It is made out of a bright yellow silk and silk chiffon combination with a beautifully and densely covered jewelled front and collar. The neckline is high and finished with the most amazing yellow prong set glass crystal rhinestones and beads. These circle the neck in a wide 2” band and then more of them run down the sides of the front keyhole. The shoulders are soft and the sleeves are very full above their cuffs. I love that the sleeves are left unlined so you almost don't notice that it has sleeves. The inner dress is cut into a simple sheath that skims past your bust, waist and hips to the floor. Panels of silk chiffon have been attached into the collar and around the openings for the sleeves. These fall over you to create the beautifully illusion of fullness that you see in these photos. The panels are split at the front and then cut to just about the top of the hips and then curved down to the floor. They do the same thing at the back and there is a layer of the same silk over the innermost silk sheath patt of the dress. When you move the silk chiffon catches the air and billows out around you for the most beautiful and dramatic effect. This is a dress that you just throw on and it instantly drapes and falls into place perfectly each time. It is very pretty and very easy to wear. It has its original tags attached and comes with its original dust bag and Gucci hanger. Excellent condition
The innermost silk layer of the dress acts as the lining. The dress closes with a hidden set back zipper and each cuff has two silk covered buttons. Original hangtag is attached with extra beads/ rhinestones included. It will ship with its original hanger and garment bag. Tagged a modern Gucci 42. The easy cut should allow it to fit a range of sizes.
