2011 Erdem Runway Documented Multi Coloured Abstract Print Dress
This striking Erdem maxi dress walked the runway as look 33/34 for the brand’s Fall 2011 show. Crafted from smooth silk, the print was uniquely designed by Erdem itself; an abstract, painterly pattern of rainbow hues offset by deeper, autumnal tones. The dress has a dramatic silhouette; cut with a long train, it puddles on the floor around the wearer like a spilled paint palette. The skirt has a high slit in the front. The gown is cut in a column silhouette that has been cinched by pleated panels of fabric which cross-over at the bust and wrap around the waist. It is lined with black silk-satin at the bust. The skirt is unlined. It fastens at the back with a hidden black zip.
Presented in excellent vintage condition with no issues of any note. It is made from 100% Silk. The label reads a size UK 10 but the dress runs much smaller and we have provided measurements below. It has not been altered. Our model's sizes are: Bust: 34" (87cm), Waist 24" (61cm), Hips: 34.5" (88cm) and 5' 7" (170cm) and she's a size UK 6, US 2. We estimate a good fit for UK sizes 6-8 or US 2-4.
