2017 Burberry Runway Documented White Mesh and Lace Dress
Under Christopher Bailey’s creative direction, Burberry embraced a blend of heritage and modernity, merging its iconic British tailoring legacy with streetwear influences, see-now-buy-now collections, and a more inclusive, youth-driven vision of luxury. This pretty dress walked the runway as part of the brand’s Spring 2017 collection (look 74/79). Tailored from white mesh and soft, elaborately detailed lace, it has an antique feel that draws on the Victorian era that the brand was founded in. The elegant long-sleeves are trimmed with white lace and slightly widened at the cuff which adds to this vintage feel. The body is tailored to skim the torso, with the relaxed column-cut skirt broken only by a slit at the rear to allow for ease of movement. The neckline is rounded and trimmed with white cotton. The dress fastens at the rear with a tonal white zip. This romantic, sheer gown would be perfectly paired with an antique slip or modern shapewear.
Presented in excellent condition with no flaws. It is made from 100% Nylon with inserts of 100% Cotton and 100% Nylon. It has no size label but we have provided measurements below. The fabric has a tiny bit of stretch - a best fit in our opinion for up to a UK size 8 or US 4.

F.A.Q.
Will you set anything aside for me before I come?
We are happy to find anything you may be interested in from our website - please let us know a week in advance.
We also have an extensive offline collection. If you let us know your size, style, favourite colour to wear and perhaps your budget, we can browse through our archive in advance of your appointment.
Do I need to bring anything with me?
Clients may wish to bring modern shapewear when trying on garments from certain eras, especially the 1950s. Vintage clothing was often worn with undergarments that shaped the waist and as such is tailored for them.
We have a huge variety of slip dresses and petticoats to complete your look; many of which are also for sale.
You may also wish to bring your favourite footwear. We often find a classic pair of nude shoes work well when trying on, or a pair in gold or silver.
Do you have a price range?
Many of our lower-priced pieces (under £150) are not available to buy online. Our prices range from £80 - £600 for separates. Dresses start at around £150 and go up to £2,500 for the very best antique pieces and designer vintage. Our bridalwear ranges from £300 - £3,000.
Can I bring anyone with me?
