Resort 2011 Givenchy by Ricardo Tisci Runway Look 5 Striking Red Lace & Black Net Dress designer-john-kloss The buttons behind the front

The buttons behind the front panel are functional but you probably wouldn't use them

It is cut to skim and flow down past the bust

I love that you can wear it loose and full

Fully lined in a nude netting through the bodice and the skirt is lined with an inner red silk skirt and a layer of red tulle between that and the top layer

The hem has some scruffiness to it and there is some very minor pilling tot the inside of the sleeves and inner hem
