1980s One of a Kind Anthony Ferrara Gold Bead Bustier Accessories and Separates Fully lined in a yellow

Fully lined in a yellow toned silk that is hand set and closes with a back painted metal zipper

The entire dress weighs ounces and is a perfect example of what the best Pucci's are all about

The skirt closes with a front brass zipper and brass studs

The skirt is a masterpiece of pleat work and an example of how finely done a pleat can be - each is very deep and uses an excessive amount of fabric - only in couture would this be as the cost would be prohibitive in RTW to so this -  and each line of the pattern in the silk brilliantly lines up perfectly with the ones beside it when the pleat closes

Note that along the very top edge of the dress where it would sit under the arms the fabric started to split

It is an amazing one of a kind piece made that was a runway sample that he made by hand. It is made of a gold pleated nylon backed with a corset bodice inside so you get support. It simple hooks into place at the back and once on leaves the back exposed. The front is a wild and sexy combination
