This Stella McCartney Ltd., design of the nude-illusion dress, with sheer, polka dot mesh, side panels, sleeves and mock-up neckline was also selectively patented in the United States. The US design patent, USD770128S, titled Dress, assigned to Stella MacCArtney Ltd., was awarded on November 1, 2016.
The extracted patent Figure 1 is included below, together with an image of a runway model, wearing this version of the nude-illusion dress with sheer panels running also under the sleeve. Notice the dotted lines on the patent Figure 1 drawing, excluding those parts of the design which are unclaimed. Thus, only the sheer side panels creating the nude-illusion are in fact patented, while the mock neckline, front and back of the dress, and sleeves are in fact excluded from the inventive design.
