1970s Emilio Pucci Pink Pop Maxi Dress designer-missoni Before Hermes had a presenceThis is a near twin to a Pucci I had on the site a long time ago but this one is a halter version. It is classic Pucci done in a gorgeous palette of soft hues of greens have vibrant pink flowers worked amongst the pattern. The fabric is his signature silk knit jersey so it wears and travels perfectly. The cut is very long and lean. The skirt flows to the floor form a banded and contrasting print waistline. I love that the skirt has the same contrast
