Burgundy Polka Dot Three-Piece Set with Button Detailing

Size IT 38 / EU 34 / XS

This rare and iconic ensemble from Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring/Summer 2003 collection encapsulates the designer’s signature deconstructed elegance and playful surrealism.
Consisting of a sleeveless sheer top, a dramatically layered asymmetrical skirt, and a matching detachable utility-style belt, the set is richly embellished with iridescent shell buttons that evoke both folkloric and punk sensibilities.

• Three-piece set: Includes sheer top, layered skirt, and removable button-embellished belt with flap pocket.
• Color: Deep burgundy base with pale golden polka dots.
• Material: 100% lightweight rayon—fluid and sheer with beautiful movement.
