The Attico lace and tulle dresses: the lingerie-inspired pieces in stock

The Attico began with lingerie worn as clothes, the robe and the slip, and lace is how that idea survives in the current collections. The brand’s own product pages use the phrase “lingerie-inspired” on the wool mini with tonal lace inserts and on the satin-and-lace mini, and it puts sheer panels on a midi dress, lace on a leather skirt, tulle on the strapless mini and soutache embroidery on the most expensive dress in the pool. At Luxury Handbags 15 lace, tulle and sheer pieces are in stock at both ends, $880 to $5,190. This page ranks them and tells you what each one is made of, because none of them is what a first glance suggests.

What the lace is

None of these is silk lace, and the product pages say so. The lace tops and the lace-blend mini are polyamide and viscose; the satin under the lace on the midi dress and the midi skirt is viscose; the wool mini is pure virgin wool with lace inserts; the soutache dress is polyamide and elastane. What you are paying for is the placement and the construction, and the review says as much. Treat every one of them as dry-clean only; the care page explains why viscose weakens when wet.

How to wear it

The brand’s own way is the lace slip under the bomber, which turns dinner into the walk home. The lace tops go under the tuxedo jacket and over the jeans. The strapless mini and the soutache midi stand alone, and the party dress page ranks them against the fringe.

Sizing the slim fits

The lingerie-inspired minis and the lace midi carry the brand’s slim-fit note, which means one size larger than usual; the tops are body-hugging by design. Read the model’s size on each page and use the size guide to convert.

“We wanted to bring robes out to the street,” Gilda Ambrosio told Vogue at the label’s launch presentation in Milan on 25 February 2016, where the first collection was built on peignoirs, slip dresses and dungarees in velvet, canvas, embroidered silk and tulle.
