**Lingerie as Outerwear: The Ultimate 90s Tattoo Effect**

**The Curator's Note & Provenance:**
A rare manifestation of 1990s Italian glamour, this long-sleeve bodysuit from the prestigious "La Perla Tricot" line is a definitive archival piece. Emerging from the era that pioneered "Lingerie as Outerwear," this garment balances the structural audacity of 90s avant-garde with the intricate craftsmanship of the Bologna-based atelier.

**Design & Construction:**
The piece features exquisite 3D floral appliqués in a velvet-textured chenille, meticulously embroidered onto a translucent honeycomb mesh. This creates a signature "tattoo effect" across the décolleté and sleeves. The lower body is crafted from a high-performance sculpting knit, ensuring a streamlined and flawless silhouette.

**Fabric & Materiality:**
* **Composition:** 65% viscose, 20% polyamide, 15% elastane.
* **The Feel:** The high viscose content provides a silken, luxurious hand-feel, while the 15% elastane offers superior "body-con" sculpting that maintains its integrity and shape perfectly over time.

**Curator's Condition Report:**
* **Grade:** Excellent Archival Condition.
* **Details:** This piece has been professionally preserved and refreshed. *Please note:* There are 2-3 microscopic surface snags in the delicate mesh, as is characteristic of archival textiles from this period. They are documented in our macro photography and remain virtually imperceptible when worn.

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.
