Dreamy Fall 2008 Ungaro by Esteban Cortazar Runway Look 18 Printed Chiffon Backless Halter Dress designer-nina-ricci The box was what it

The box was what it was shipped in so has some marks from the packing tape

The silk is the same deep blue and the nix of the three textures is very nice

Despite its light weight the fabric still has enough structure to hold the cut and give it the wonderful shape that you see

The peplum is exaggerated to the extreme so when buttoned it really stands out - more so then how it has been captured in the photos - there is actually a light stiffening material in it to keep the shape

There is the top printed layer and then there are two layers of ivory chiffon underneath that
