I wear skirt dresses a lot. In my case they weren’t made to be skirt dresses. They were made to be skirts and I just end up pulling them all the way up and wearing them like dresses. Even so there’s something about seeing something that looks like a skirt being sold as a dress.
Update 2022:
This post is 11 years old as of this writing. The originally posted images are missing and cannot be found. The featured image above is not from the dress in question. Have no idea what the dress in question ($6230 pink sheer lace Valentino Strapless A-line dress) looks like. Couldn’t find anything on the web that might be the same dress. Sorry about that. These below images of pink Valentino dresses are being added so the page isn’t filled with broken images. The original images of the $6230 dress were stored on the long defunct Polyvore website that used to exist
This cute “barrel line” short sleeve mini dress comes with a $4500 price tag. It’s from the VALENTINO PINK PP COLLECTION of super bright hot pink apparel.
Here’s another dress from the collection
This one comes with a $7500 price tag and is described as being composed of 100% Ostrich Feather outer, Turkey Feather 100%, Virgin Wool 65%, Silk 35% with a lining composition of: Viscose 91%, Spandex/Elastane 9%
About the PP Colorway Colleciton, it is described thusly (source of quote):
Valentino’s AW22 collection is characterised by a Pink PP colourway – a hue created in collaboration with Pantone that’s described as a ‘manifestation of the unconscious and a liberation from the need for realism.’ This minidress is introduced in the signature shade and trimmed with tonal feathers along the neckline.
Apparently, each Pink PP item comes with a certificate of authenticity…
From original 2012 post:
I do like the dress. I love the color and the lace. I don’t know how comfortable it would be as the description says there is a boned and underwired corset concealed somewhere in there. I’m inclined to think there was an error in the description.
Here’s a gorgeous set that uses the dress as a skirt.
Everything in the set is super expensive. The dress like the title says is $6,230. The shoes are an $895 pair of Valentino Couture Lace Platform d’Orsay pumps. The bag is also from Valentino. It’s $2 595. It’s made of 75% Lambskin 10% Acetate 10% Calf-skin leather. The top is a Blush sheer lace Valentino appliqued blouse that costs $3,285.
