Marella sleeveless midi dress, Italy, 1990s – crisp black-and-white cotton gingham  What makes it special? A clever play on the classic shirt-dress: the gingham is woven, not printed, and Marella pieces together small and medium checks so the pattern changes at each seam, giving movement and visual interest without extra trims. The bias-cut crossover bodice meets a neatly fitted 31 cm waist, then falls into a softly pleated skirt that swirls mid-calf (total length 106 cm). Inside, the construction is pure Italian quality—clean overlocked seams, bound armholes in black cotton tape, concealed side zip—details that set it apart from mass-market day dresses.  Why is the price justified? Crisp 1990s Italian cotton, precise pattern-matching and Marella’s reputation for refined ready-to-wear mean the dress sits well above typical vintage gingham finds. Its timeless silhouette lets it move from casual picnics to garden parties: cost-per-wear quickly drops.  Condition & presentation: very good vintage—fabric bright, no stains, holes or discolouration; zip runs smoothly; freshly steamed.  Story: Marella, part of the Max Mara Group, launched in 1976 to deliver modern, clean lines with impeccable fabrics. This piece captures the brand’s 90s minimalism while nodding to 1950s picnic chic, making it both nostalgic and contemporary.  Key details a buyer should know • Flat measurements (garment closed): shoulders 25 cm; bust 34 cm across (68 cm circ.); waist 31 cm across (62 cm circ.); hips 39 cm across (78 cm circ.); length 106 cm. Fits roughly IT 38 / US 2; compare with a similar dress. • Lightweight 100 % cotton—comfortable even in high summer. • Deep V-neckline; shirt collar frames jewellery or a neck scarf.  Styling ideas: pair with espadrilles and a straw tote for daytime, add a thin black turtleneck underneath for mid-season, or cinch with a statement belt to emphasise the waist. A versatile, well-made dress that proves gingham can be both playful and chic.
