This spectacular garment is a significant example of cutting edge British fashion design. It demonstrates Pugh's futuristic aesthetic and is an example of yet another unusual technique in his repertoire of making.
The dress is full length and fitted to the body from the neck to the knees where it flares out into a dramatic trained skirt. The sleeves are fitted tight to the arms and extend to the wrist. The dress in entirely covered with silver metal tabs which flex to allow movement but give the impression of heavy armour. There is a separate collar in the same technique which sits high under the chin.
