This spectacular couture evening dress from Emilio Pucci is made of printed silk organza in black, dark brown and silver-gray and decorated with the iconic "Emilio" signature. The entire dress is studded with thousands of sparkling sequins and crystals, all hand-applied, and has considerable weight. It has a slim fit and closes with a side zipper and hook and eye closure. One shoulder strap has a detachable end that fastens with three snaps and two sturdy metal hook and eyes. Inside bodice with boning, waist support and additional side zipper, lined with white silk. Skirt is lined with black silk lining and light mesh fabric. Made in Italy.

According to very similar dresses well documented in the Pucci book of Taschen, the dress appears to date from around 1980. These crystal beaded evening gowns are some of the most intricate, valuable and rare pieces from the house of Pucci.
