    I Have A Question: Resort 2018 Carolina Herrera Runway Look One Sample Floral Silk Chiffon Plunge Dress


    The Resort 2018 collection was Carolina's last collection that she designed before handing things over to Wes Gordon. In the Vogue review they talked abut the inspiration for the pieces saying, "Herrera said she looked to the gardens at her home in her native Venezuela for her flower motifs, and the exuberant colours she pulled from them for other pieces." This dress was Look One of the presentation. Brie Larson wore one on the Today Show that year, Grace Gummer wore hers to the Emmys awards HBO party and we found a photo of Helena Bourdon in one. It feels as fresh today as it did then. 

    The dress is made out of a feather light silk crepe chiffon in a beautiful soft blue. A pretty floral print runs over the entire piece. The front plunges to the waist for a startling contrast to the romantic feel of the dress. A tiny ruffle runs over each shoulder and the sleeves slim down a touch as they reach their cuffs. The waist is seamed and buttons to close. A slit at the front runs up to meet the buttons and lets a flash of bare leg show when you move. The skirt is cut to feel soft and full as it nears the hem. This gives it a romantic feel and pretty movement when you move. This is the actual sample dress from the brand and has its original sample tag. Which means it very well may be the dress that was worn by some of the people that we have included here for reference. I love it. Excellent condition.

    Fully lined in a pale blue silk chiffon and buttons down the front. Buttons on each cuff. Original hang tag and sample label attached.

    Sleeves: 24"
    Shoulders: approx 15"
    Bust: 17" flat across from side seam to side seam
    Waist: 12-13" flat across from side seam to side seam
    Hips: to 22" flat across from side seam to side seam
    Bodice: 15" from top of shoulder to waist
    Total length: 53" from top of shoulder to hem
    Slit: 21.5 from the hem up

    Modern Sizing Equivalent: XS-SML

    Item# DD4749
