Prada Green Black Chain Inset Printed Shift Dress, Resort 2009

A slight departure from their usual style, the Resort 2009 Prada collection toned down the crisp, tailored feel and presented softer volumes with a coy edginess. Neutral tones and an enchanting green made this collection a cross between easy to wear and ready to wear. This tunic dress is done in a crocodile green sheer fabric that features a stylized leopard motif in black that swirls about the body of the dress. From a boat neckline, the dress moves down to lightly fitted bodice with a high waistline where a black chain detail is positioned with rows of grommets. At the thigh length hem, this chain detail is repeated. The chain details, the wide neckline, and the attached sleeves give this dress exceptional horizontal balance that pairs well with the printed design, and can be seen as look #23 on that season’s runway. This Prada dress is in excellent condition and originally retailed at $2,500 in 2009. Fully lined in a black silk, this dress closes at centre back with an invisible zip. Professionally eco dry cleaned and pressed, high-quality vintage pieces like this are yours to live in and love while increasing in value every year. It’s never too soon to start collecting them, as an investment in your wardrobe—and in yourself. Size: 46 Size estimate: M/L Bust: 38 inches Waist: 34 inches Hips: 41 inches Length: 35 inches
