The Shrimpton Couture Archives

• Limited production piece from the Spring 2018 collection
• Under the creative direction of Pierpaolo Piccioli
  
• Its twin was worn by Imogen Poots and also by a guest at the Couture collection that season
• Made of a black tulle over an inner black silk chiffon base. The netting has gold metallic embroidered thread in stripes and then those have tiny little sequins in a rainbow of colours scattered along their lengths.
• The bodice crosses over itself at the back and front
• The sleeves are full with elastic and a ruffle at their ends. You can see in the reference photos that the sleeves can be worn on or off the shoulders and it dramatically changes the look of the dress.
• The skirt is full with multiple layers of netting and silk to hold the volume
• Long velvet ties fall from each shoulder and they are set in a large bow at the top of the shoulder for the perfect pretty finishing detail
• It is fully lined in black silk and closes with a hidden set side zipper.
• It appears to have been worn very little if at all
• Excellent condition
