The full, gathered silhouette falls from a smooth waistband, while the open latticework raffia creates a striking graphic effect that allows glimpses of the vibrant orange taffeta beneath. Hand-painted geometric motifs in shades of purple, yellow, green, and cream enliven the woven structure, lending the piece a playful, almost folk-art sensibility. Balancing sculptural texture with bold color, the skirt embodies the experimental spirit and artisanal craftsmanship that characterized much of turn-of-the-millennium couture and collectible designer fashion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition:  Gently worn with no obvious damage. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eItem: #\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e128444\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pierre Cardin (Haute Couture)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43863142531138,"sku":"128444","price":1498.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0168\/6608\/files\/128444g.jpg?v=1781631292","url":"https:\/\/vintagemartini.com\/products\/2000-orange-painted-raffia-ballgown-skirt-size-4","provider":"MARTINI CONSIGNMENT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
