• This is almost certainly from the early 2010s and is very similar to dresses we have had in the shop before from the 2010 and 2011 collections.
• It was made under the creative direction of both Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli. 
• The dress is made out of a beautiful coral silk chiffon that is cut on the bias and flows over the body beautifully. The fabric choice keeps the dress very light in weight and gives it beautiful movement.
• The entire top portion of the dress is finished in a series of soft gathers that highlight the shape of the bodice as it flows over you.
• There are also these two fantastic soft bows that are made of the same silk as the body of the dress that sit along one side and add a pretty detail.
• The straps extend out from the body to curve up and over the shoulders. All of the gathering that covers the bodice have been set on soft angles to follow the cut of the neckline.
• It comes in softly at the waist and the very lower part of the bodice is set on an angle above the skirt This is very flattering on and highlights how it is swept up and into those bows even more.
• The skirt falls from under there and widens out to a pretty fullness by the time it reaches the hem. I love how there is an extra gathering of the silk along the side that is sitting upwards on top of the hip. 
• The skirt has three full layers of silk and the draped side curves upwards just a touch and conceals an overlapped slit. So when you move a certain way you see a bit of a flash of bare leg. 
• The dress comes with a huge rectangle of matching silk that you can drape around your shoulders for the perfect finish.
• The dress is fully lined in a matching coral silk chiffon through the bodice. The skirt is made of three layers of silk and these act as the lining. There is a tiny bit of grubbiness/ tiny marks at the hem and a mark under one arm on the inside lining only. Please see the photo after the label shot. The dress closes with a hidden set side zipper. The colour is slightly softer in person.

• The twin of this dress was Look 35 on the Spring 2008 Yves Saint Laurent runway for Look 35.
• It was made under the creative direction of Stefano Pilati
• On the runway the dress was worn by Freja and it was also shot on Kate Moss that season.
• Stefani said that he had been thinking of "goddesses and stars" for the evening pieces.
• This was the strongest dress of the collection and I love having all of these reference photos for you because you can see just how beautiful this dress is on the body.
• The dress is made out of a beautifully weighted silk that is cut on the bias. The colour is a deep fuchsia pink. That is a rich and lovely jewel tone.
• The end entire dress falls from one shoulder. The sleeve on that side is kept simple, starting out wide from the body and then narrows at the cuff.
• The front of the dress angles down on a curve and it does the same at the back. It is more fitted through the bust and curves past the waist.
• The bias cut lets it skim and fall over the hips to highlight your curves.
• The skirt falls from there and is made from seamed panels that give a nod to the thirties in their execution.
• The skirt is very full and that, combined with the bias cut, give this incredible movement as you move. It  is an extremely sensual and sexy feeling dress once on.
• I think this was one of the strongest dresses of his entire time at this label.
• The dress is fully lined in a matching pink silk and it closes with a hidden set zipper at the side. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.

• This is a more recent Givenchy piece and is a great and easy dress to wear.
• It is made out of a vivid pink silk chiffon with a softer pink silk lining. This keeps it nice and light in weight and gives it a pretty drape.
• The dress is suspended from tiny straps that curve up and around the neck. At the back, they fall down the bar expensive skin there and each one ends with an elaborate finish of big iridescent round beads. The two ties each have a different amount of bees on the end, and that same little quirky detail is picked up on the tiny little beads that sit on the top of each strap as well with one side having more than the other. 
• At the front you are covered by two long triangles of the silk which create a deep plunge all the way to the waist.
• The back is left completely open and bare and I love how sexy this is when you turn around.
• The waist is cinched and highlighted with a pink band of silk that has a different finish and has top stitching set horizontally all the way around.
• The skirt falls in different lengths with jagged edges. It is amazingly full, and having all of those links, gives it an incredible amount of movement when you move walk or twirl. The chiffon of the skirt has been lightly pleaded, but purposely allowed to soften and open.
• This would be an incredible dress to dance in.
• The dress is fully lined in a pink silk and closes at the back with a hidden set zipper. It ties behind the neck. The pink is perhaps a little less vivid than how it followed with a touch of coral to it
