ALBERTA FERRETTI Colorful Impressionist Silk Chiffon Mini Tent Dress SIZE 6

This mini tent dress from Alberta Ferretti features a vividly colorful silk fabric in a very painterly design. It reminds me of Van Gogh's Starry Night, while the brushstrokes remind our photographer of Edvard Munch's The Scream (it took me a while, but I finally got it). The front of the dress is silk chiffon gathered at a neckline comprised of a layer of jet black beads encased between two layers of black tulle. The back of the dress is a silk and wool blend without gathers that emphasizes the gorgeous pattern. The front chiffon fabric is 100% silk, and the back fabric is 73% wool and 27% silk (Silk and wool blends are one of my favorite fabrics - the wool gives the fabric body, and the silk gives it sheen.) The black rayon lining is not full or gathered, but is more like a regular fitted dress, so that's where we took the measurements. Labeled Italian size 42 and US size 6. Please refer to the measurements for the best guidance regarding actual size and compare with a similar garment that fits you.* DRESS MEASUREMENTS - Underarm chest measurement is 36.5" - Waist is 36" - Hips measure 38" - Length is 33" down center back.
