• The Valentino Roma label launched in 2000 to take the place of the Miss V line. It was sold at a price point that was a bit more accessible then their main line and was meant to be available in more shops then the main line would be. The pieces were very well made.
• This dress caught my eye simply because of how gorgeous the colour is.
• It is a stunning dress with beautiful lines that is made out of a vibrant pink silk. 
• The dress is technically a one shoulder dress although the detail on the side that drapes over the opposite shoulder gives it the appearance having coverage on both side sides
• The strap that does go up and over the shoulder extends out from the bodice from one of the wrapped over panels at the front. It curves up and over the shoulder, widens out near the top of the shoulder and then narrows back down to insert into the back.
• I love how the back scoops low to expose bare skin.
• On the side opposite to the shoulder strap it extends out into two draped panels. They are large enough that you can have them sit on your shoulder or you can have it draped down more like the end of a tie of a bow. From there it curves inwards to create shape through the waist. 
• It curves back out over the hips and falls to the floor gently widening out a touch as it near the hem. There is a slit at the back for a little bit of a kick when you move.
• Inside the bodice there is a built-in inner structure to give some added support and the fabric itself has some structure so that it holds a shape around you.
• It very much has the feel of an old Hollywood but done in that brilliant and highly saturated pink colour.
• The dress is fully lined in a lighter pink and closes with a zipper at the back. The inner bodice has its own set of hooks to close with an attached inner waist stay. There is light boning hidden inside the bodice. I see a slight colour change along one side of the dress that continues down around the hem. You can see a very soft change in saturation in the shots and I tried to capture it in the photo after the label shot. It is extremely light and feels like the light is catching the fabric in a different way. Priced accordingly and sold as found.
