• The twin of this dress was Look 48 on the Spring 2015 runway.
• Made under the creative direction of Ralph Lauren
• Ariana Grande wore a custom version of this dress where the train was extended and extra tulle was added around the shoulders and arms. It would be very easy to match the netting and re-create the feel of the dress around the shoulders if you liked how hers was worn.
• The Purple Label from Ralph Lauren are the high-end demi-couture pieces the label creates. Ralph Lauren launched it in 1994 and the label was meant to be the pinnacle line for the brand.
  
• The dress is made from multiple layers of a netted yellow tulle over an inner silk lining. The colour is a beautiful soft yellow.
• The front neckline is detailed with panels in the same tool that cross over themselves at the front and then again at the back. You can wear these higher up as a photo them or more down and off the shoulder you see on the runway.
• Under that the bodice has been gathered down to the side, and this creates a beautiful added texture in detail onto the dress. I love how it opens up just around the top of the hip, and this is what creates the volume in the skirt that you see.
• The skirt is magnificent. It has multiple layers of the tulle and silk organza with individual panels attached all the way around the skirt. The panels are set vertically and over the innermost layer of matching yellow silk that serve serves as the lining. The layers give you the incredible volume that you see and when this is on and moving it is even better. You can see that in the runway video.
• There is a full built-in corset that is cupped and lightly boned. This closes with its own zipper and has an attached waist stay that hooks to close. The dress is fully lined in a matching coloured silk and closes at the side with a hidden set zipper over that. The skirts are made of multiple layers of tulle with an inner silk panel.

This beautiful dress was Look 42 on the Spring 2014 runway for Ralph Lauren. It was part of a grouping of all white pieces and I think it is the stand out from that grouping and from the show. The purple label from Ralph Lauren signifies the runway pieces that are the high-end pieces the label produces. Ralph Lauren launched it in 1994 and the label was meant to be the pinnacle line for the brand. The dress is beautifully made. It is a dress that could be worn to any event, but would make a fantastic piece for a bride looking to go the non-traditional route.

This dress is absolutely gorgeous. It is meant to skim over the body and it has a beautiful movement that you can see in the runway video. It is made out of a stark white cotton with an inner lining of another crisp layer of cotton. Little white flowers have been individually cut out and hand sewn onto the dress with a spray of tiny sequins and beads to create their centres. The flowers change slightly in size and are set so they closely cluster up against each other. From the top of the bodice down, the entire dress is covered with a heavy layer of these flowers. This creates this fantastic and whimsical layer of texture over the entire dress. It is like you are wearing an entire floral bouquet and it is magical. Wide straps curve over the shoulder. The front has a slightly squared off feel and I love how the back dips down into a V so you get a bit of bare skin showing. There is no waist seam on this one. It is shaped to come in slightly at the waist and skims over your bust, waist, and hips. The skirt flares out starting at about the knee and is very wide by the time it reaches the hem. At the back, there is extra fabric built-in so that you get a bit of a sweeping feel behind you as you walk. The dress is made out of cotton which gives a bit of weight to it but the applique of all those flowers gives it this sense of lightness and airiness that is wonderful. All of the little hand sewn beads and sequins that attach each individual cluster of flowers to the dress catch the light in a very pretty way no matter what angle you see the dress from. When this is on and you are walking, it is absolutely gorgeous. This is Ralph at his best and it is a tremendously beautiful dress. Excellent condition with a minor note below

Fully lined in a white cotton and closes with a hidden set zipper at the back. There are some very tiny brown dots here and there on some flowers near the hem. It is extremely minor and it otherwise appears to have been worn very little if at all. The flowers have been hand applied and you can see the hand stitching at the back of the fabric.

This beautiful dress was Look 49 on the Spring 2015 runway for Ralph Lauren. At the time it was released there was a editorial that noted that the bead work alone on this dress took over 900 hours. Princess Charlene of Monaco wore one in 2016 and Sarah Jessica Parker wore one in 2023. I ove that this gives you a fantastic idea of how this looks like on the body. The Purple Label from Ralph Lauren are the high-end demi-couture pieces the label creates. Ralph Lauren launched it in 1994 and the label was meant to be the pinnacle line for the brand. The dress is beautifully made. 

The dress is made from multiple layers of silk tulle over an inner silk. The colour is a earthy deep golden colour. Onto the top netted layer is the extensive and elaborate bead and prong set glass crystals that are mentioned above that took over 900 hours to apply by hand. The design completely covers the bodice and sleeves and then runs down on panels on the skirt. The front  neckline is scooped across and rhinestones have been prong set in an elaborate and dense design just under the neck line. These taper down and change to these to very fine beaded curving lines that run down to the waist seam. The sleeves are long and they are also entirely covered with more delicately done bead work. At the back you have an open V that plunges down the back and exposes a bare expanse of skin. The skirt is magnificent. It has multiple layers of the tulle with individual panels attached around the skirt. These panels have the same elaborate hand beading as the sleeves. The entire skirt is made from multiple layers of panels set vertically and separated from each other from the hem to about 23" up, so when you sit or walk a certain way you get a bit of flash of leg from underneath. This gives you incredible volume as well. I loved the dropped waist and you can see that the dress can be worn with a belt as they showed it on the runway, or without for a more 1930s feel. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. Excellent condition.

Fully lined in a matching coloured silk and closes with a low set hidden back zipper. Each sleeve buttons to close at the wrist. The skirts are made of multiple layers of tulle with an inner silk panel. Tagged a modern RL 4
