I have seen versions of this dress float around with a Gucci label and the print certainly is reminiscent of the Flora Fauna print. However, the quality of this dress does not seem to me to be in line with the Gucci pieces from this time period I have seen. I have had this tucked away for some time and was never able to satisfy the mystery of this dress to my satisfaction. That said, it is too pretty to hang in my archives and I think it is time for it to go out there. The dress is made out of a synthetic , silk rayon jersey that holds the color very well. The print covers the entire dress with the collar, waist and hem edged in a contrasting purple. I love how the print splays into the the purple borders at the waist and hem. It is almost as if the flowers are growing over the borders. It has a V neck, high set waist and is cut to skim over the body rather then hug. It is a pretty little thing no matter what its heritage ends up being. Very good condition

Unlined and closes at the back with a metal and nylon zipper. There is one small smudge on the front but it is minor. This fabric gets a bit 'soft' as it ages. Hence the very good condition rating rather then excellent. There is nothing really wrong with it - just a natural patina that comes with normal wear and wash. The fabric has some stretch
