EMILIO PUCCI 1914 to 1992 EMILIO PUCCI GOWN Tagged Size Medium (14-16) Sizes have changed over the years. So see measurements Emilio Pucci was a famous and well-known Italian Fashion Designer. Emilio Pucci signature clothes were a distinguished fashion of the late 50’s and early 60’s. After Emilio’s death in 1992 His daughter continued the business. Though
the care tag does not show the fiber content a mandate in 1960 I still
feel this gown to be newer than pre 50's
This
gown is most likely from the late sixties or seventies and made under
Emilio’s direction. I say this because of the tagged size discrepancy,
the tag itself and the style. It appears to be made of a tricot weaved nylon as there is stretch side to side but if this was made post 60's the stretch could be attributed to an Antron type II or III nylon with perhaps some spandex. Pucci
clothing and accessories are still made today under the supervision of
the daughter Laudomia Pucci and still command high prices thereby making
them a favorite of the rich and famous. This
glorious gown would have been owned by a person of great wealth and
society as it would have been beyond the reach of most middle class
incomes of the period. Many Pucci gowns fetch prices from $600.00 up
into the thousands, some have even fetched tens of thousands at auction.
His claim to fame was his original artistic use of color. Though this
gown does not sport the characteristic colors of Pucci, it is after all
an elegant nightgown and very sexy. And though Pucci outerwear was very
loud his intimates were of elegant stature. For
sale is this Gorgeous Burgundy Red Gown. Lovely
matching burgundy red 2 inch 5cm lace adorns this beautiful gown. Lace
flows around bodice (yoke) and back.
Also flows around the bottom of the bodice and down the full
length of the gown. There
is a 19 inch 48cm split at the bottom front of the gown. This
elegant gown features double spaghetti straps. Treat
yourself and indulge in pure elegance. Please
check the measurements below for a proper fit. Bust measures 36 inches 91.5cm The
bust is above the fabric encircling the back and the fabric has some
give, so it is difficult to say what the total would be but at least a
36 (91.5cm) Underarm
measures 34 inches 86.5 cm The
empire waist measures 32 inches 81.5cm Waist
measures 40 inches 102cm. Hips
measure 46 inches. 117cm Keep
in mind there is some stretch to the fabric and all measurements were
taken with the fabric relaxed. If you do not mind a tighter fit to fit
your body shape you could go a bit larger. Length
measures 46 inches. 117cm But as stated below the strap was shortened by
a little over 4 inches 10 cm. Because of the way the straps are
intertwined you could gain 2 inches 5cm in length by moving the straps
to the ends. So up to 48 inch 122cm length. Full
Sweep of 88 inches. 223.5cm This
gown is in excellent vintage condition.
The only flaw that I noticed was it looks like someone shortened
the straps. This is
something that could easily be remedied as the extra was not cut off and
could be lengthened again or left alone.
It does not take away from the beauty and elegance of this gown. Your
opportunity to own an authentic, elegant and very sensual Pucci at far
less than the going rate. This would be a GREAT buy at many times more
than the asking price. Step
into the world of Pucci with this elegant and sexy nightgown!!! I sell this gown with the intent that the buyer will wear and enjoy it but it could also be bought as an investment, as fashion is art and art appreciates. # a0005 $350.00 + S&H Sale $150.00 + S&H
