This Roberto Cavalli dress is from a more recent collection and is very pretty. It is an easy to wear piece and very flattering once on the body. The bias cut silk and pretty pink and pastel design pack a lot of punch into the design. The lines are simple and it has that perfect caftan feel through the long and loose body of the dress. One arm is left completely bare and the other has a cape-like sleeve that is cut on an angle so that it floats down and over your arm. I love how the dress is gathered up at the back to one side, this allows for a flash of leg to show on the one side of the skirt that curves up as a result, and also gives the dress some shape. It hooks to close and where it closes, it follows an angled curved seam that runs up the back. This also dips down into an offset V at the back that then dips quite low down one side. This is hidden under the sleeve but you get a flash of skin when you move. It is a very chic and easy to wear piece. Excellent condition.
Fully lined in a off-white silk chiffon and closes with hook and eye along a seam. Tagged a 42. Appears to have been worn very little if at all. Note that the color is more a true soft pink in feel in person.
