• This is the Carnelian Constellation dress from Collection 9 by Cucculelli Shaheen
• It was made under the creative direction of Anna Rose Shaheen and Anthony Cucculelli.
• This collection was called the "House of Mysteria". The label keeps their collections open for purchase indefinitely since everything is a made-to-order, one-of-a-kind, with additional customization available. To order this dress on their website with no further customization is US$14,975.
• In the description of the dress on the website they note that it takes 858 hours of hand embroidery to complete this dress.
• The website also notes that their "constellation series has an option to be fully customizable and platinum gold silver or other metallic thread work on any colour base. We take the location and timing of any event, wedding, birthday, anniversary, special night, etc., and fully customize a star map embroidery for the skirt and or cape. Additional emblems, initials, and personal details may be added as well. We typically do placements for 10 PM on the date, so you can look up in the night sky and see your star as above."
• The dress is made out of a netted tulle in a deep coral red carnelian colour.
• Onto that is their signature constellation designs. They use a combination of platinum and crystal seed beads mixed with crystals and the tiniest tube beads.
• The thread work mixes a metallic thread with a matching carnelian coloured thread. The metallic thread used on this one is a muted gold colour. I love how this and heavy embellishment catches the light from every angle.
• The bodice is strapless and inside there is a built-in cupped and wired inner bodice to hold you in place. It is meant to be fitted around the bodice and then cinches in at the waist.
• The skirt falls from under that and there is an incredible amount of fabric in it. Underneath the top layer net  are layers of silk organza and silk Georgette. This keeps it light in weight but gives it incredible movement around you when you move.
• The hand work on this dress is what brings it over the top and commands it's original high price tag at retail. The entire dress has been completely covered in that constellation motif that is so incredibly beautiful.
•  Different astrological signs are embroidered and scattered through the skirt as well as star maps. The application of bead-work sequins and little rhinestones is extremely heavy over the entire dress. It is stunning.
• This is an incredible and very beautiful dress.Every detail is perfection right down to the hand embroidered label.
• It is made to a level that should be considered Demi Couture. 
• The dress is fully lined in a silk georgette with silk organza layers in the skirt as described above. It closes with a hidden set back zipper. The internal corset is made out of stretch lingerie netting and is lightly boned. The corset has its own hooked closure. It appears to have been worn very little at all.
