..Averardo Bessi, former designer for Pucci is often considered a Pucci imitator, but I find his prints quite different. Beyond the use of bright colors on silk jersey, I see little to compare to Pucci.

.. This dress is a prime Bessi design. The pink and blue background allows the rich jewel colors of the flora to pop! The beautiful butterflies and lady bugs are quite special too. The print is, of course, singed Bessi here and there. It is silk jersey.

.. The dress is a tunic cut, more fitted in the chest, then it flairs to the hem. It could be belted should you want a more fitted look, but I love it free. The dress closes up the back with a very fine pink metal zipper.
