This iconic and instantly recognizable Balenciaga scuba dress, designed by Nicolas Ghesquière for Spring 2003, is made of a black cotton jersey with a rich underwater and jungle themed print in brilliant colours and black scuba suit stitching. The dress features a seemingly simple yet very intricate fitted bodycon cut with a small v-neckline, wide elbow-length sleeves with black vinyl stripes and an asymmetrical hemline, ultra mini-length. Side zipper. 100% cotton, unlined. Made in France.
