Lip Service \"Sweet Sorrow - Bittersweet\" Sample Short Dress
***
Please note: This is an original Lip Service sample piece, created for internal use during the development of their 2004 Sweet Sorrowline. Sample garments often differ slightly from later production versions and may include unique details, early design choices, or construction variations not found in retail pieces. These items were typically used for design approval, sales samples, or photoshoots.
As with most Lip Service samples, there may be small quirks or minor irregularities inherent to the sample‑making process, but nothing that affects wearability or the integrity of the garment. Any notable details are shown in the photos.
Because sample pieces were produced in extremely limited quantities—often only one or two per style—this is a rare opportunity to own an authentic part of Lip Service history.
Please see all photos and feel free to ask any questions.
