The bodice closes at the front with small button fastenings hidden beneath a self-fabric placket, and the skirt is heavily shirred at the natural waist into a full, gathered fall that moves with real weight. Sleeves are long and gently gathered at a fitted cuff, with a round, close neckline finished without a collar.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStyled here beltless and loose, though period photography shows it cinched with a wide belt at the natural waist for a more defined silhouette, worth noting for anyone wanting to recreate the original campaign look. This is Armani in his earliest, most texturally experimental period, mixing fiber and finish in a single garment years before his name became synonymous with tailoring alone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eComposition: velvet (skirt and sleeves) 100% cotton; knit bodice 52% acrylic, 48% wool\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeasurements laid flat: IT 40 \/ US S\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLength: 110cm \/ 43.3in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWaist: 36cm \/ 14.2in flat (28.3in circumference)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShoulder to shoulder: 39cm \/ 15.4in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSleeve: 57cm \/ 22.4in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePit to pit: 46cm \/ 18.1in flat (36.2in circumference)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giorgio Armani","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64280138383690,"sku":null,"price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0081\/4193\/0549\/files\/2677CEB3-232D-4871-96B0-E2F0682C5A0E.jpg?v=1794130715","url":"https:\/\/www.sablevintage.com\/es\/products\/giorgio-armani-fall-winter-1978-velvet-knit-dress-s","provider":"Sable Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
