Richmond X contemporary vintage black sheath dress in polyester for women, size 44 IT, featuring a full front metallic hook fastenings, a delicate black lace trim, and fine double thin shoulder straps.
Description from the seller
A very edgy and feminine midi dress, typical of John Richmond's provocative style.
It is a sheath dress with a close-fitting cut that follows the body's curves. The length presumably falls below the knee (midi).
Front details: The most distinctive element is the full-length front closure with metallic hooks (corset-style) running down the center of the dress, ending with a small slit at the hem.
The straight neckline and the lower hem are embellished with a delicate black lace trim, adding a romantic touch that contrasts with the stronger aesthetic of the hooks.
Straps: It features double, thin straps that cross or split at the shoulder.
Fabric and Composition
From the label we read that the garment is made from a synthetic blend:
95% Polyester: Gives that shiny and satin-like look we see in photos.
5% Elastane: Essential to ensure the dress is stretchable and fits like a second skin.
Brand and Authenticity
Brand: It is signed Richmond X, one of the lines of British designer John Richmond.
Production: The label reads "Made in Italy" and lists FALBER Confezioni S.r.l. as the producer, a historic company that has managed licenses for major names in fashion, confirming the high quality of craftsmanship.
Size: It is an Italian 44 (equivalent to a French 40, UK 12 and US 10).
It is a very interesting 'contemporary vintage' piece, perfect for an elegant evening but with a rock soul.
