SS 2003 Roberto Cavalli Tattoo Dress

Vintage Roberto Cavalli Tattoo Print Slip Dress - Spring/Summer 2002

Size: Large

Best Fit: Large

Can Fit: Medium, X-Large

A signature Roberto Cavalli archive piece from his most romantic, most collected print register — inky blue toile-style botanical engravings (peonies, chrysanthemums, scattered blooms), drifting "Amour" ribbon banners, a hand-drawn tiger illustration, and Cavalli's own signature script woven throughout the print. All set against an intentionally tea-stained, vintage-parchment cream silk ground — designed by Cavalli to read like a love letter pressed between the pages of a book.

The silhouette is classic SS03 Cavalli: bias-cut silk satin in a body-skimming mini, soft V-neckline front and back, cap-sleeve shoulders gathered into beaded drawstring ties that adjust the fit and frame the shoulder. The skirt releases into a fluid godet flare that swings with every step. Pure romantic Cavalli — Italian, sensual, a little gothic, completely covetable.
