This dreamy chiffon evening dress is from LUCA LUCA by Italian designer, Luca Oralandi.The dress is made in three layers: a short, asymmetrical lavender silk crepe layer on the bottom, a full-length layer of floral chiffon in the middle, and another asymmetrical layer on top that follows the angle of the bottom layer. It also has an empire waist with a ruched bustline. The fabric is an ethereal, weightless silk chiffon floral in watercolor shades of lavender, gray, taupe and green. Closure is with an invisible side zipper. The dress has only one short bone on the right side of the bodice that is the width of the ruching. One of the photos shows that it doesn't zip all the way up on our mannequin that has a size 33.5-inch bust (albeit a hard surface with no give). It's labeled Italian size 42, which is usually converted to a US size 6, but this is a vintage piece and seems to run closer to a US size XS, or 0-2. Please refer to the measurements for additional guidance regarding size.
NOTES; After an early career designing for Oscar de la Renta, Bill Blass and Oleg Cassini, Luca Orlandi launched LUCA LUCA in 1991, which became known for rich couture fabrics and the highest-end ready-to-wear garments. He still makes chic yet undeniably sexy clothes that are very Italian in flavor but adapted to suit the American woman's tastes.
