y2k pink lace embroidered cut outs silky coquette short mini dress made in Italy

this lovely vintage dress “made in Italy” by the brand Invito from the early 2000s is sure to turn heads, and would be perfect to wear to a nice dinner on vacation, to a cocktail party, to go salsa dancing, or as a summer wedding guest! the sleeveless dress features a silky pink body with a sweetheart neckline, an eye-catching dark pink embroidered cut-out details with a scoop and keyhole design, and a mini above-knee hemline (on model who is 5'6). the wide straps have silver and faux crystal embellished clasps at the top of each shoulder (which can be opened) and a backless strappy design, with a back zipper closure. the dress is made of a silky and smooth silk/acetate blend that feels lightweight and comfy, and the dress is fitted around the bodice and flares a bit at the hips. the dress is lined with a pretty layered look, as there is a sheer pink layer that extends at the bottom of the skirt. tagged as Italian size 44, and I would say this best fits womens size small or medium. in great vintage condition with light signs of wear. measurements (lying flat): bust (pit to pit): 16” across (32” when doubled) waist: 13.5” across (27” when doubled) centre back length: 18.5” (includes pink sheer lining/layer)
