UNDERCOVER 05SS BUT BEAUTIFUL2 Dress One-Piece

Order via Japan Rabbit

Step into Japanese archive fashion history with the Monster Mini Fringed Dress with Embroidered Teeth from UNDERCOVER's Spring/Summer 2005 collection, BUT BEAUTIFUL II. Designed by Jun Takahashi, UNDERCOVER is celebrated globally for blending surreal dark romanticism with punk-infused avant-garde design. This rare runway piece showcases that signature aesthetic through a deep bordeaux shade, detailed lace, flowing fringes, a subtle woven eyeball motif, and eerie embroidered teeth lining the waist.

Crafted from 100% polyester, this piece is marked as a Japanese size 2, which roughly corresponds to a women's medium. It measures approximately 44 cm across the chest under the arms, 71 cm in dress length, and 81 cm from the top of the shoulder straps down to the hem, offering a unique silhouette that balances wearable art with raw runway energy.

This pre-owned vintage item was originally purchased at an UNDERCOVER store in Nagoya back in 2005. It is in very clean condition, with no noticeable scratches or stains. The dress was worn only once before being dry-cleaned and stored carefully over the years. There is minor disorder on a few fringe strands due to its vintage nature, but it remains barely noticeable when worn.
