Prettiest Spring 2021 Rodarte Runway Look 20 Bias Cut Silk Pink Print Flower & Hearts Dress w Removable Flower
- The twin of the dress was presented as Look 20 in the Spring 2021 Rodarte collection.
- It was made under the creative direction of Kate and Laura Mulleavy.
- “Everything we do is about fantasy and dreams, but we are located in a moment, and we are a part of what is happening now,” said Kate. A fanciful gown, both designers agree, has little place in today’s world, so instead they channeled their efforts into clothing they would want to wear now “without distilling the ideas".... Vogue continued their review by noting that the floral story continues in the 1940s dresses they played with last season, now relaxed in shape with prints that radiate from the navel or appear in handkerchief-like grids.
- Its twin was worn by Kourtney Kyung Smith and Anya Taylor Joy also wore one to the Venice Film Festival that year. Liz Gillies wore one while in character for Dynasty.
- The dress is absolutely exquisite and really showcases the charm that the Rodarte collections have and why people love collecting them.
- With its pretty combination of white, pink and red this might also make a fantastic dress for a bride for one of her events around her ceremony.
- The dress is made out of the perfect white and pink bias cut silk that is a beautifully light in weight. It is very soft and supple and the bias cut lets it glide over your curves once it is on.
- Onto the white and pink base is a gorgeous print that features tiny pink flowers ad black bows nestled among green leaves and dots. These are set in large medallions that cover the entire dress.
- Tiny black silk straps curve up and over the shoulders. The front dips into a shallow V and the back also dips into a V that is set lower for a bare expanse of skin to show above.
- The bias cut lets the dress skim over your bust, waist and hips to fall to the floor. It flares out prettily at the hem and this give it beautiful movement when you walk.
- A little silk flower in a pretty pink sits at the base of the V of the front. The flower is detachable so you can move it to where it sits on you best.
- The dress is unlined and slips on to wear with no closures. The flower pins into place and is also labelled at the back. The dress is in its original uncut length. I see a tiny bit of grubbiness near the hem in a tiny hole near the seam at the back of the hem. It doesn't look like the dress was ever worn otherwise so this is probably from improper storage. Please see the photo after the label shot. The bias cut allows for some give so I have put the comfortable range while lying flat below. The length may come up a bit because of the bias cut once it is on the body.
