very fun dress from the Spring 2004 Chloé runway designed by Phoebe Philo, who came up under Stella McCartney and took over at the helm of Chloé when Stella left to pursue her own label. Phoebe Philo would famously eventually go on to Céline before also pursuing her own label last year. the Spring 2004 collection is seen as the one where Phoebe really found her footing at the house and put forth her own, fresh point of view.

the dress, worn as look 37 on the runway by "it" model of that moment Karolína Kurková, is in an apple green and is made of a super slinky viscose stretch jersey that feels almost like swimsuit material. it has a halter neck with a very low cut neckline and a modified racerback, dramatic cut outs on each side, and hangs around and even off of the body for a very casual but very sexy look. there is a ruching detail below the bust, where the long straps hang from. these straps have heavy real glass beads strung along them, which give them a good weight. they can be worn undone or tied up to attach to a loop in back between the shoulder blades.

very good vintage condition, no real flaws to note. the bottom hem is simply cut and is not rolled over and sewn down. we assume that is original to the design to let the jersey hang as intended.

made in France. 95% viscose and 5% elastane. marked size S but can fit XS-S-M maybe L due to its shape. note that it offers very little support, is not lined, and is quite revealing, so keep that in mind. (shown on US 2 mannequin).

• waist: open but maximum 38"
• length: 43" measured from top of strap to bottom in front
