• This dress is from the Fall 2014 Mary Katrantzou Collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of Mary Katrantzou
• The digital prints that were on many of her dresses during this time period are what launched her to fame. No one really was doing them to the same degree. You can see the inspiration for this dress in looks 2 and 26. 
• The fervor for these dresses is hard to comprehend now, but many of her dresses were sold out worldwide and wait-listed. 
• The dress is made out of a fabric that has almost the feel of a very lightweight neoprene. This allows it to perfectly hold the intended shape on and off the body.
• The neckline is scooped wider across and the shoulders are soft. Sleeves begin and are set in wider and then narrow down slightly to the wrist. The fabric that it is made out keep it soft and comfortable to wear despite its exaggerated structured shape.
• The bodice skims down to the seamed waist for added shape and the skirt is fitted into that. The front panel of the bodice continues down past the waist to the hem and has a more flat and sleek feel.
• The fulness of the skirt is created by a added panel that wraps around and curves under itself to meet that inner front panel. This is what gives the skirt its incredible fullness. 
• Built in between the top layer of the skirt and the lining is netting to help hold the shape and fullness.
  
• Hidden along those seams on each side of the skirt are pockets.
• The front bodice and that inner front panel has been done in a deep blue and then the digital print runs down the front to just past the waist. The sleeves entire back of the dress and the skirt to where it meets that front panel are all done in black.
• This is an incredible dress and was never worn. It still has its original tags in place.
• The dress is fully lined in a blue silk or organza. Built in netting through the skirt as described above. It closes with a back hidden set set zipper. Hidden set zippers at each cuff. It was never worn and still has its original tags attached.
