Stunning 2017 Valentino by Pierpaolo Piccioli Minimalist Red Cady Caftan Dress designer-helena-barbieri I love how it goes

I love how it goes from a classic simple T shaped sweater at the top to a riot of colours for the skirt

5-23" flat across from side seam to side seam

That draped panel is very full and I love how it drapes over the sleeve on that side

The waist nips under that and the skirt falls to the floor with yards and yards of fabric

The skirt is also fully lined with a finished silk skirt under the 3 top layers of silk chiffon

Stunning 2017 Valentino by Pierpaolo Piccioli Minimalist Red Cady Caftan Dress designer-helena-barbieri I love how it goesThis is one of Valentino's silk cady caftan dresses that he does so beautifully. Over the course of his time at Valentino he has done several variations of these dresses and each is beautiful. Queen Maxima of the Netherland owns what looks to be the near twin to this one and it is one that she truly loves because she has worn it on three separate occasions. The first in 2017, which is how I dated this one, again in 2018 and then most recently in 2022.
