**The Essence of Florentine Craftsmanship**

Curated from the archives of Marco Fantini (Firenze), this stunning sleeveless midi dress is a masterclass in Italian mixed-media construction. Unlike printed imitations, this authentic *Save the Queen!* piece features a complex, tactile patchwork of premium fibers, including lustrous silk, structured linen, and delicate lace overlays.

**Design Details:**
* **Textural Symphony:** A curated clash of earthy tones, featuring jacquard weaves, intricate embroidery, animal print paneling on the back, and sculptural statement embellishments.
* **Material Excellence:** Crafted from a rare, high-quality blend including 10% Silk and 8% Flax/Linen, offering superior drape and breathable luxury.
* **Silhouette:** A sophisticated, figure-flattering midi length (93 cm) with a subtle fringe hem and a striking exposed back zipper with the signature logo ring pull. Perfect for a refined boho-luxe or avant-garde aesthetic.

A Note on Archival Fashion
Please keep in mind that these rare pieces have lived a past life. Minimal signs of wear or a natural patina are entirely normal and part of their unique history.
Care & Condition
I treat every garment with the utmost respect. Each piece is carefully hand-washed, steamed, or ozone-treated so it reaches you in beautiful, ready-to-wear condition. However, due to the age and nature of vintage textiles, a very faint vintage scent may occasionally linger.
Sizing & Fit
To showcase the intended drape and silhouette in our editorial photos, garments that are larger than the model may be subtly pinned. Please never rely on the photos alone for sizing; always use the detailed flat-lay measurements provided in the description to ensure a perfect fit.
Color Accuracy
We strive to capture the true essence of each garment, though slight color variations may occur depending on the lighting and your screen's calibration.
Boutique Policies
To ensure absolute fairness for all of our collectors, we operate strictly on a first-come, first-served basis. We do not accept reservations or higher bids on items that have already been sold. Additionally, as our prices reflect the rarity, authentication, and extensive restoration of each piece, they are strictly non-negotiable. Please take the time to review all measurements and details carefully before securing your piece.
