Spring 2016 Chloe by Clare Waight Keller Runway Look 24 Hand Dyed Multicolor Silk Chiffon Dress

I Have A Question: Spring 2016 Chloe by Clare Waight Keller Runway Look 24 Hand Dyed Multicolor Silk Chiffon Dress


  • The twin of this dress walked the Spring 2016 Chloe runway for a Look 24
  • It was made under the creative direction of Clare Waight Keller.
  • This may be one of the most highly documented pieces that we have ever had in the shop. There were so many that we had to combine the shots in order to make them fit in one listing.
  • At the show, there was a printed note on every chair that said "The season's collection is a tribute to girls named Kate, Chloe, Cecilia, Corinne, Rosemary, Emma, and Courtney, who embody the liberty and the elegance of a perfectly mastered and excessively lived simplicity." Vogue expanded on that explaining that Clare said backstage that she had grown up alongside that motley crew of models, photographers, superstar performers, and they represent a more free time. "There is such a fast pace to fashion. Now, I think we've lost the innocence of the spirit of fashion, the youthful optimism that it portrays. And I think there is something quite joyful about fashion that's been missing."
  • This dress is one of the most beautiful from the collection in my opinion and it is even better in person.
  • The dress is made out of a lightweight gauze silk chiffon and the striping that you see has been all hand dyed vertically down the length of the silk. At first glance, you might think that all the colours are separate panels that have been attached together, but it is actually dyed vertical stripes down the length of the dress. I love how where they meet a softly fade into the colour next to it.
  • The chiffon is feather light and I am very glad that we have both the runway photos and so many reference photos and video for you to see how fantastically it moves once on.
  • The dress simply ties into place at the top of each shoulder and this allows you to decide how low or high to wear the drop of the neckline.
  • From there, it drapes in a very loose and easy silhouette over the bust, waist and hips before flowing to the ground.
  • Highlighting the waist are bands of rounded piped gathered stitching that add some visual detail and break to the stripes. These have the cords that hang down the sides running through them.
  • Adding the soft slightly curved lines across the middle of the dress allows the shape to still stay loose and easy but it gives it a visual waist. It is a very clever way to define the dress.
  • Extending out from those and running down each side are various colour cotton cords that end in the prettiest fringe tassels. Both both the chords and the tassels have been dyed into the various colours that are on the dress. I have taken a close-up of some of the tassels so you can see how fantastically pretty these are.
  • You can use the cording to add a little bit of shape if you wish but the dress really is meant to be worn loose and easy and more like a caftan.
  • The lightness of the fabric gives it incredible movement as you move. This is one of the most iconic of all Chloe dresses and it would be an incredible addition to any closet or collection.
  • The dress is lined to just above the knee in an ivory silk chiffon and its loose and easy cut makes it exceptionally easy to wear. It will just drape more on a smaller frame. It ties into place at the top of each shoulder and has no other closures.

Chic Spring 2013 Emilio Pucci by Peter Dundas Runway Look 41 White Silk Halter Dress w Pockets

I Have A Question: Chic Spring 2013 Emilio Pucci by Peter Dundas Runway Look 41 White Silk Halter Dress w Pockets


  • The twin of this dress walked the runway for Look 41 for the Spring 2013 collection.
  • Vogue said of the Collection; "When Peter Dundas inherited this historic Florentine house—famous since the 1960s for its kaleidoscopic prints—he made reworked archival patterns a major part of his story line. Last season and this one, though, he's started inching away from them. These days, the label is just as well known for Dundas' confident, louche brand of glamour as it once was for its founder's graphic swirls and geometries." 
  • It was one of three white dresses that closed the show before the final look. 
  • The dress is made out of a light silk that is light in weight but just heavy enough to keep the structure. It is very close to a true white.
  • The front neckline is done in a halter style with the upper part above the bust line finished an a white netting that has a secondary abstract print work through it. This allows you to see the skin underneath. The front is gathered over the breasts almost like a bandeau and seamed in the centre.
  • Under that is an open cut out for a bit more skin to show.
  • The dress curves in to follow the waist under that and and skims over the hips.
  • The skirt falls to the floor and widens out quite a bit as it nears the hem. This gives the dress incredible movement when you walk and you get a sense of that in the runway video.
  • I love the loose slightly draped pockets that sit on each hip.
  • The back is mostly open with a criss-cross of straps and an open cut out between the waist and the back strap.
  • Decorative frog knots sit at the low waist for added detail.
  • The dress is fully lined through the bodice and the skirt is unlined. It closes at the side with a hidden set zipper. Light boning and padding through the bodice. I see some some faint marks here and there around the hem.
  • Tagged a modern Pucci IT42, FR38, US8, UK10.
  • Excellent condition with the minor note above

Spectacular Spring 2017 Valentino by Pierpaolo Piccioli Runway Look 52 Zandra Rhodes Print White Silk Chiffon Dress

I Have A Question: Spectacular Spring 2017 Valentino by Pierpaolo Piccioli Runway Look 52 Zandra Rhodes Print White Silk Chiffon Dress


  • The twin of this dress walked the runway for the Spring 2017 collection for Look 52.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Pierpaolo Piccioli and the print was done in collaboration with Zandra Rhodes.
  • Historically, this was an important collection as it was Pierpaolo's first solo show at Valentino. It was also his first collaboration with Zandra Rhodes.
  • On the runway the dress was shown without a lining so had a higher level of transparency that you can see in the photos and the video.
  • The dress and collection were very well received and was one of the most documented dresses of the season.
  • Meryl Streep famously wore its twin to the 2017 SAG awards. Laetitia Casta and Lee Young Ae appeared in one for Elle France and Elle US, and it was shot for other editorials. This really lets you see how spectacular it is on and in a variety of circumstances.
  • The dress is made out of a beautiful lightweight white silk chiffon that has a custom Zandra Rhodes print covering the entire dress. Written in between the print are the words "In nova fert animus mutatas dicere formas corpora" which is the opening line of Ovid's epic poem, Metamorphoses, and translates to "My mind is bent to tell of bodies changed into new forms" or "My soul inclines to speak of forms changed into new bodies". This powerful opening sets the poem's central theme of transformation, with Ovid's narrative beginning from the creation of the world and continuing to his own time, weaving together many myths about how beings and objects were transformed into new forms."
  • The shoulders are soft and the sleeves are long. They are a single layer of the silk chiffon so they have a beautiful delicacy to them.
  • The dress skims over the bust from a scooped neck and drapes easily over the body to a more generously cut waist.
  • Built-in and under the top layer of silk on the bodice is a second layer of the same silk that creates a covered curving deep plunge at the front. The same effect has been created at the back as well and there the V has been set wider across. I love the play on transparency that this gives the dress. You are completely covered but at the same time the plunge is there on both sides. It is an unexpected sexiness that still feels elegant and refined. 
  • The waist is cut more generously so that you have a beautiful flow from head to toe. You can see this in all of the various reference photos and how it sits on the body. This cut was to become one of Pierpaolo signatures.
  • The skirt flows to the floor from there and it is extremely full. It has a second ivory silk chiffon layer underneath so that it is opaque enough to wear. The excessive amount of fabric used through the skirt gives it a ton of movement when you walk and move. The back is cut slightly longer than the front for a beautiful sweeping feel behind you.
  • The lightness of the silk and the way that it lays over the body allows it to move spectacularly over you and it will pick up the slightest bit of air.
  • The dress is partially lined through the bodice to create the plunge as seen and described above. The skirt is fully lined in a solid silk chiffon layer. It closes with a hidden set back zipper. This is a dress that is easy to fit and wear because of the easy cut through the body. It appears to have been worn very little if at all

I Have A Question: Resort 2017 Valentino by Pierpaolo Piccioli & Maria Grazia Chiuri Runway Look 67 Beaded Cotton Dress


  • The twin of this dress was shown for Look 67 of the resort 2017 Valentino collection.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Pierpaolo Piccioli & Maria Grazia Chiuri.
  • This ended up being the final collection that Maria worked on for the Valentino label.
  • The inspiration behind the collection was Cuba and the looks were rife with embroidery and bead work. Piccioli remarked that "It gave us a real freedom to mix, like a souvenir, lots of pieces together."
  • The dress has the added provenance of being the twin of the dress worn by Bee Schaffer that year on the red carpet. She wore it beautifully and it shows you just how spectacular the dress is once on the body.
  • The dress is made out of a light weight white gauze cotton that sits over a white gauze lining to make it opaque enough to wear. Onto that is a beautiful mix of bead work that highlights the lines of the dress.
  • The neckline is set wide across so that it sits at the edges of the shoulders and a wide 6" ruffle follows the entire neckline. It gives it the prettiest flounce all the way around you and creates the feel of little cap sleeves that float over the top of the shoulders.
  • The neckline is set into a V at both the back and the front for a little bit of added bare skin to show.
  • Under that the bodice skims down to the seamed waist and then the skirt is set into the waist.  The waist is slightly more on the generous side and accentuated with a band of the intricate bead work.
  • From there the skirt expands outwards and by the time it reaches the hem it has an amazing amount of volume. The back is cut slightly longer than the front so you get a beautiful sweep.
  • The lower portion of the skirt has a ruffle that picks up on the one around the shoulders and that ruffle is a full 15" wide. Underneath the top layer skirt is a second layer white. I love how this added touch of under-skirting along with the beautiful cut of the skirt creates the volume. It also gives you fantastic movement when you move.
  • You can see where the edges and seams between the different panels have all been finished with bead work. The beads have all been done in a combination of ivory and soft taupe beads placed by hand and they have the feel of being hand painted.
  • This is an absolutely stunning dress and this particular cut of dress is one of my favourites. 
  • The dress is fully lined in a white gauze feeling fabric as described above. It closes with a hidden set back zipper. There is the tiniest faint mark near the waist. Please see the photo after the label shot. It otherwise appears to have been worn very little if at all. It has its original hang tag and packet of extra beads.

I Have A Question: Fall 2019 Alessandra Rich Black Version of Runway Look 46 Bias Cut Silk & Sequin Lace Dress


  • The twin of the dress in white walked the runway for Look 46 for the Fall 2019 presentation.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Alessandra Rich.
  • Leonie Hanne wore the twin of this dress to the fashion show in 2019.
  • The silk that it is made out of is feather light and cut on the bias. It skims over the body to follow your curves all the way down in a beautiful and flattering way.
  • The sleeves are cut with a high peak on the shoulder and there is a little bit of stiffening along their inner edges to help hold the shape that you see. They narrow down as they reach the cuffs and there is a lace and net inset at their ends that forms the cuffs.
  • The front dips low and has a touch of transparency. It is a combination of lace and netting with a second cut out layer that sits over each breast to make it a bit more opaque. The lace plunged down to the waist so it has a very sexy feel.
  • All of that front detailing is edged in sequins that pick up the light fantastically.
  • The netting continues down the sides and the back is covered with a layer of the black netting and lace for a gorgeous exposure of skin through the lace netting.
  • The skirt is cut longer at the back than the front for a bit of a sweeping feel behind you.
  • Unlined and closes with a back hidden set zipper. Each cuff has a hidden set zipper. The fabric has stretch and the comfortable range of measurements are listed below when laying flat. The dress is new with its original tags and in its original uncut length. I see one tiny missed stitch in the netting at the back. Please see the photo after the label shot.

Prettiest 2017 Gucci by Alessandro Michele Black Dress w Lace Sleeves & Iridescent Crystal Bow Detailing

I Have A Question: Prettiest 2017 Gucci by Alessandro Michele Black Dress w Lace Sleeves & Iridescent Crystal Bow Detailing


  • The dress is from 2017 and is a piece that was produced for the shops.
  • The dress was made under the creative direction of Alessandro Michele.
  • Lisa Vanderpump wore it's twin that season and I love that the reference photos we have included here allow you to see how great this is once on the body.
  • The dress is made from a light in weight black crepe like fabric mixed with lace set down the bodice and for the sleeves. These fabric choices keeps it light in weight but still give it enough structure to hold that gorgeous shape that you see.
  • The neck is cut high with a ruffle of lace running around the neck. A lace panel drops into a low V down the front. This leaves you completely covered but you still have a bit of the transparency that the lace provides.
  • Each shoulder is set into the arms with a slight capped feel and then they narrow down to wide cuffs and a ribbed grosgrain. Each cuff closes with two button buttons covered in the same fabric. I love the way the lace of the sleeves picks up on that front panel and how they also have transparency through the lace pattern.
  • The bodice is cut to skim over you to the waist that is banded for shape.
  • The skirt curves out over the hips and then falls from there to the floor, flaring out as it reaches the hem. This gives it a wonderful movement when you move.
  • It is at the very front that you get that signature excess that Alessandro is so well known for. Two large bows are formed out of iridescent silver crystals trimmed with tiny seed beads. These are attached directly to the dress and are stylistically a nod to the 1930s and 1940s. There is also a prong set row of the same crystals that run between the bows to suggest tiny buttons. All of the crystals catch the light beautifully and add a high amount of glamour to the dress.
  • It is a beautiful dress representative of his time at the Gucci label.
  • The dress is lined in a black chiffon through the bodice with the skirt and lace areas left unlined. It closes with a hidden back side zipper and hooks at the back of the neck. Each sleeve has a two buttons at the wrist. There is some stretch through the body so I have put the comfortable range when laying flat below.

Extraordinary Rare Fall 2016 Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda Couture Gold Tweed & Lace Covered Jacket & Skirt Suit Set

I Have A Question: Extraordinary Rare Fall 2016 Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda Couture Gold Tweed & Lace Covered Jacket & Skirt Suit Set


  • This is a private custom order suit from the Fall 2016 Alta Moda "Naples" collection and was acquired directly from the Couture client. Alta Moda runway footage and Look Books are only available for those invited to the spectacular 3-day events held in different locations each season.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana
  • This suit was a special order custom piece by my client and the original price was just over 45,000 euros. 
  • This collection was inspired by Sophia Loren who was also the guest of honour at the show.
  • Both pieces are made out of a hand woven tweed that has gold metallic thread woven through it in a thatched weave. The goal is more apparent when you see this in person. As you get closer, you realize that over top of the tweed there is a layer of a floral lace that floats over and creates a beautiful pattern on pattern effect.
  • The lace pieces were all hand made individually to fit the part of the pattern that they were to be applied over top of. Inside the inner edges of the jacket there is a another panel of handmade lace that is done with a more dense weave so that it has a darker feel to it. It is all just extraordinary.
  • The jacket has soft shoulders that have a slight peak at their tops. The sleeves are long and the lace covering them is their only detail. The body of the jacket is shaped around you with the waist nipped in for shape. A double row of handmade buttons runs down the front with hidden hand covered silk snaps set underneath to close the jacket. Each hip has a double flap to suggest pockets but these are decorative only and their purpose is to help shape the hip and add detail. The collar is soft with an extra band of the handmade lace applied around it to give it a touch of definition.
  • The skirt has a wide grosgrain ribbon to cinch it in and it skims over the top of the hips. The lower skirt is added with and exposed top set seam attaching it to the upper part of the skirt. This lower piece is pleated so it opens up into a beautiful shape and a bit of a swing feel while still maintaining its structure.
  • It is truly a work of art and showcases the very best of Dolce's craftsmanship.
  • Both pieces are unlined and are entirely made by hand to Haute Couture standards. The jacket closes at the front as described above and the skirt has a back zipper. They have their appropriate Couture tags in place with a hand written tag behind. Both pieces appear to have been worn very little if at all.
  • There is no size tag present since it is a couture piece so please go by the measurements listed below.

Remarkable Spring 2012 Alexandre Vauthier Haute Couture Runway Look 23 Pale Lavender Silk Chiffon Dress

I Have A Question: Remarkable Spring 2012 Alexandre Vauthier Haute Couture Runway Look 23 Pale Lavender Silk Chiffon Dress


On Layaway
  • The twin of this extraordinary dress walked the Spring 2012 Alexandre Vauthier Haute Couture runway.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Alexandre Vauthier
  • Alexandre Vauthier launched his label in 2009. He started his fashion career in 1993 working for Thierry Mugler as an intern and working his way up to assistant designer to Mugler himself. In 1997 he joined Jean Paul Gaultier where he in charge of the Couture collections for the following eight years. 
  • He left in 2008 to open his own couture atelier showing his first collection in 2009. From 2011 to 2014 the label was a designated guest member of the Chambre Syndicale de haute couture and since December 2014 he has been a full Couture member. Vauthier departed the label in 2025 marking the end of the Couture division.
  • This is the actual piece that was shown on the runway and may very well be the only one in existence. I love that we have both the runway reference photos and video. You can see how fantastically it moves and looks once on the body.
  • The dress would have been made completely by hand in the Paris atelier.
  • The dress is made from a pale lavender silk chiffon that is of extremely high-quality. It has the slightest bit of texture to it, and is all cut on the bias. The colour is even softer than how it photoed and better in person.
  • The seam work on this dress is extraordinary. It is a strong nod back to Couture pieces of the 1920s and 1930s. I have taken some close-ups through the body so that you can see the extraordinary hand done piece-work that has gone into putting the various panels of the dress together to create the flowing masterpiece that you see.
  • The dress is wonderfully simple in the way that it goes onto to the body. You simply slip it on and it hooks and snaps into place around the waist leaving it to flow freely over the body from shoulder to hem.
  • This wrapping around you and hooking into place leaves a high slit up one side so that when you walk or move you see a flash of bare leg. You can see this in the reference photos and video.
  • The bodice is cut to drape loosely over you and has a plunging V at the front, both sides, and at the back. On the runway it was shown over an inner nude piece for the minimum amount of modesty It could be worn like that in real life or a layered over something underneath if you wanted a bit more coverage.
  • The waist is brought in with a wide doubled band of the same silk chiffon and the panels of the bodice blouse softly over the waist band all of the way around you. There is a second interior halter inside at the front that sits slightly more fitted to the body and adds one extra layer of chiffon.
  • The dress curves out over the hips and then the beginning of the volume that you see for the lower skirts is all created by the inset panels that have all been hand placed and sewn.
  • The amount of silk chiffon in the skirt is remarkable. It falls slightly shorter to the front and then curves out around you in a sweep of skirts that is just phenomenal. I love that we have runway videos so you can see how amazing this dress is once it is on and moving.
  • The dress has a single layer interior halter bodice and the skirt is unlined. It slips on and then wraps and closes with a hook and hidden set clear snaps at the waist. This is the actual dress that was worn on the runway and is completely made by hand. It is the original runway sample dress. You could move and adjust the hook and snaps at the waist to get the perfect fit.
  • There is no size tag present because it is Haute couture sample so please go by the measurements listed below
  • Excellent condition

On the runway, the dress was shown with a fur shrug. If you are interested in acquiring that I may be able to source that for you independent of this dress. Please touch base to chat further.

Bust: each inner halter covers to 7" flat across from side to side
Waist: 13" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: open
Bodice: approximately 16" from top of shoulder to waist and meant to blouse slightly over the 2.5" band around the waist
Total length: 69" from top of shoulder to front hem and the back extends up to another 17" past that.

Modern Sizing Equivalent: SML-MED

Beautiful Resort 2014 Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci Backless & Caped Panel Ivory Silk Chiffon Dress

I Have A Question: Beautiful Resort 2014 Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci Backless & Caped Panel Ivory Silk Chiffon Dress


  • The dress is from the Resort collection from 2014.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Riccardo Tisci.
  • I have had the dotted one version in the shop before and this all white version is one of the most beautiful pieces to have come out of his time at Givenchy. We have added a reference photo of the dotted one so you can see the fit.
  • In Vogue's review of the show it was noted that just the week before the Resort collection was debuted Tisci had won the CFDA's International Award and he was quoted as saying at the time that "This year has been beautiful and amazing for me". 
  •  The dress is magnificent. It is made out of a silk chiffon that is a very fine scarf weight silk that is very difficult to work with especially given the elaborate draping that has been done on this dress.
  • The fabric has the slightest bit of texture worked into it. This helps to give the dress a little bit of lift and volume so that it seems to float around you when you move. It would have taken many hours and a high degree of technical skill to drape that silk so perfectly into place.
  • The dress is cut to flow beautifully around the body. The neckline is set high with a band that curves around your neck. The bodice is gathered into that and then drapes down over your front in a series of soft gathers. These are then set into the the waist so that the top and skirt gather in a pretty way into the seam.
  • The skirt flows to the floor from there widening out slightly as it near the hem. It is cut slightly longer at the back for a pretty sweep behind you as you move.
  • The halter front leaves your entire back completely bare and the waist line at the back is curved downwards slightly and above that is nothing but a bare expanse of skin.
  • Two long panels of silk are attached at each shoulder so that they drape dramatically over and down towards the floor. You can wear them over the shoulder more so that you get a more caped effect or wear them more towards the back so that they act like long panelled trains that billow out behind you.
  • All of the silk and layers are cut on the bias so the dress really has the most spectacular movement when you move.
  • It is simple and classic but has a high impact feel at the same time.
  • The bodice and skirt are lined in an ivory silk chiffon and the dress closes with a low set back zipper and hooks to close at the back of the neck.  It appears to have never been worn or worn very little.
  • Tagged a Givenchy 34.
  • Excellent condition

Bust: should fit a variety of sizes because of the open back 
Waist: 12" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: open
Bodice: 13.5" from neck to waist
Total length: 58" from the neck to the front hem in the back extends another 4" past that.

Modern Sizing Equivalent: XS-SML

I Have A Question: Gorgeous 2013 Lanvin Blanche by Alber Elbaz Strapless Ivory Silk Wedding Dress w Back Bow & Ruffle


  • This is an absolutely beautiful dress by Lanvin from the 2013 wedding collection.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Alber Elbaz
  • He did several variations of this dress and I've included a few of them because I think that it gives you an idea of how the dress will look like on the body. I have had some of these in the shop before and each is stunning.
  • I love that it doesn't necessarily feel like a typical wedding gown. A client, who bought the last I had, wore it for an event that was nothing to do with a wedding.
  • The dress is made from a fine silk detailed with ivory coloured silk ribbon.
  • The bodice is strapless and the dress skims over the body from there to the hem.
  • At the back it is gathered up in that elaborate ruffle and bow detailing. This gathering brings the dress in slightly under the hips and gives it a pretty interesting shape as it falls around you.
  • The ruffles are tremendously beautiful. A large bow tops them at the back and then they fall and are set all the way down to trail down past the hips, down the skirt and trail past the hem. They are elaborate and caught up with hand placed stitching to hold them in place.
  • One of his signature, larger exposed zippers is the perfect finishing Alber touch.
  • The fabric has a slight texture running over it and is just thick enough to hold the shape that you see. It is gorgeous.
  • The dress is fully lined in an ivory silk with inner structure though the bodice that is lightly boned. An inner waist stay hooks to close. It closes with the signature exposed Lanvin zipper between the ruffles at the back. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. The colour is slightly richer and creamier  in person.
  • There is no size tag present so please go by the measurements listed below. 
  • Excellent condition

Bust: to 16" flat across from side seam to side seam
Inner waist: to 13.25" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: to 17.5" flat across from side seam to side seam
Total length: to 64" from top of bodice to hem

Spring 2012 Alexander McQueen by Sarah Burton Black Lace Dress w Fabulously Full Lower Skirting

I Have A Question: Spring 2012 Alexander McQueen by Sarah Burton Black Lace Dress w Fabulously Full Lower Skirting


  • The twin of this dress was featured in the Spring 2012 collection Lookbook sent out to select retailers. 
  • It was made under the creative direction of Sarah Burton.
  • Lace was one of the primary fabrics that Sarah Burton used for the Spring 2012 collection and Vogue reported that "She based her collection on the three Gs: Grès for the pleating and draping, Gaudí for the architecture, and Gaia for the sense of all-encompassing oceanic life that infused the clothes, like the outfits composed of coral or shells." 
  • Pink wore its twin for an editorial shoot and Du Juan wore one on the red carpet.
  • We have had a gold version in the shop before and I'm very pleased to have found this black one that matches the Lookbook and red carpets that it's twins appeared on.
  • The dress is made out of a black lace that tops a pale nude silk underneath.
  • The neckline is a scooped and the bodice is shaped to flow over your curves. The waist is a touch on the more easy side and you could easily add a wide corset belt to get the effect you see in the reference photos and really cinch it in.
  • It curves over the hips to about the knee and then the lower skirts explodes out from there.
  • Insets of the same lace with a layers of silk organza underskirts are set all the way around. If you lay the lower skirt out flat it has more volume than a full circle. This is what creates that incredibly full effect and the volume that the skirt has. We did not add any additional underskirts for these photos, all of that beautiful sweeping volume is all built-in.
  • The back is cut slightly longer then the front so you get this beautiful sweeping effect behind you as you walk. 
  • This dress is Sarah at her best and a highly collectible piece.
  • The dress is fully lined in a pale nude silk through the body of the dress and then silk organza is set under the lower skirts. It closes with a hidden set back zipper. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.
  • Tagged McQueen 40.

Spring 2016 Roberto Cavalli by Peter Dundas Beaded & Rhinestone Snake Detail White Jersey Dress

I Have A Question: Spring 2016 Roberto Cavalli by Peter Dundas Beaded & Rhinestone Snake Detail White Jersey Dress


  • The dress is from the Spring 2016 Roberto Cavalli Collection and it is a piece that was produced for the shops.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Peter Dundas.
  • The dress is made out of a white jersey that has some stretch to it which makes it very easy to wear and comfortable once it is on the body.
  • The neckline is scooped with a slightly wider cut. The shoulders are soft and the single sleeve that the dress has is long and slightly tapered into the wrist.
  • It skims over the bust and is gathered in along one side to add some shape to the waist. From there it curves back out and over the hips to fall to the floor in one long sweep of jersey. The dress is in its original uncut length.
  • The detailing on the dress is phenomenal. A heavily detailed snake that combines gold tube beading with rectangular and round prong set rhinestones and tiny silver tube beads is set on top of a three dimensional padding. This gives the snake a rounded out shape so that it slightly sits up and off of the fabric.
  • The tail of the snake starts on one side of the neckline, wraps around the back collar, and then runs down the front to follow the low cut opening that your arm slips through. It curves around and into the waist, back around the side of the hip, and then the head of the snake sits just above an extremely high slit at the side.
  • The snake detail is incredible. I love how he dropped the depth of the arm hole on one side and then balanced that with the high slit on that same side. It feels very sexy but the placement of the snake and the structure that is added by the under padding holds everything perfectly in place once it is on. It is quite ingenious.
  • The dress is fully lined through the body with a second layer of the same white jersey and the sleeve has no lining. It zips to close at the back with a hidden set zipper and there is a zipper at the cuff of the single sleeve. I see perhaps the tiniest bit of grubbiness along the inside collar and around the edge of the hem. There are a couple of teeny tiny pulls in the fabric. I have photoed one for you that is at the back near the zipper. Please see the photo after the label shot. These are all extremely minor and noted for accuracy. The fabric does have some stretch so I have put the comfortable range of measurements below.
  • Tagged a modern Cavalli 44

Sleeve: 24.5" and are 12" around the upper arm
Bust: covers to 15-17" flat across from side to side with no true seam on the side without the sleeve.

Outstanding Cruise 2010 Christian Dior by John Galliano Runway Version in White Silk Chiffon Draped Dress

I Have A Question: Outstanding Cruise 2010 Christian Dior by John Galliano Runway Version in White Silk Chiffon Draped Dress


  • This is an incredible white, all silk chiffon, version of Look 16 from the Dior Cruise 2010 collection.
  • It was made under the creative direction of John Galliano.
  • The dress is made out of a soft ivory silk chiffon that is feather light in weight and moves beautifully. 
  • The chiffon has been gathered horizontally around the bust and inside the bodice there is built-in inner support. This part of the dress is opaque. 
  • A wide panel of chiffon is angled over to one side so that it can be draped down and over the shoulder or gathered up on top of the shoulder. I love the versatility of this because it allows you to put it how it suits you best. I think if you wanted a strapless look, you could also have it hang around and down one hip instead.
  • On the other side opposite to that shoulder you have an expanse of bare ski showing. On that same side, you have the appearance of the chiffon panel being knotted into place with the ends, falling for pretty added detail.
  • The skirt falls from underneath the bust in two stacked layers of silk chiffon. Even with the two layers of silk, the skirt has transparency to it, which gives you the flexibility of wearing different options underneath to be as bare or covered as you wish.
  • I love how the back of the skirt curves around to trail out behind you. The double layer of chiffon and the added fabric there allow it to billow out around you as you move and walk.
  • It is extraordinarily beautiful and a gorgeous piece of Galliano for Dior.
  • The bodice area that you can see is more opaque is fully lined in a matching silk. The skirt is made of two stacked layers of chiffon, but does have some transparency as seen. The dress closes with a hidden set side zipper. I see one tiny nick in the fabric near the vertical edge of the skirt. Please see the photo after the label shot. It is otherwise appears to have been unworn.
  • There was no size tag present, so please go by the measurements listed below.
  • Excellent condition

Bust: to 17" flat across from side seam to side seam
Seam under the bust
: 13.5" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: open
Bodice: 7" from top of bodice to seam under the bust
Total length: 58" from  top of bodice to front hem, 76" to the longest point of the back hem

Cruise 2010 Chanel by Karl Lagerfeld Runway Look 33 Silk Chiffon Dress w Oversized Floral Print

I Have A Question: Cruise 2010 Chanel by Karl Lagerfeld Runway Look 33 Silk Chiffon Dress w Oversized Floral Print


  • The twin of this dress walked the Chanel 2010 Cruise runway for Look 33.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Karl Lagerfeld
  • The show was set on the boardwalk of the Venice Lido at dusk. "Coco at Lido" is how Karl Lagerfeld described this cruise collection. Vogue described the scene as Karl "reinstating the long-lost leisurely sensation of a fashion show as an exceptional one-off experience. The 350 guests reclining on sun beds in the famous white tented cabanas certainly felt privileged to be witnessing the extreme glamour of the designer's learned-but-light invocation of an important part of Coco Chanel's biography." The location was "one of Coco Chanel's favourite summer haunts—she visited Venice for almost ten years beginning in 1919 and met Diaghilev here".
  • The inspiration behind much of the show was the twenties and thirties and you can see that in the lines of this dress.
  • The dress is made out of a feather light ultra fine silk chiffon whose weave gives it the feel of a fine netting or mesh. 
  • The silk is covered in a beautiful oversized floral print in dusky pastels done in a way that makes then look like they have been hand painted directly onto the fabric. The base colour is a deep blue-purple.
  • The dress is sleeveless and the very upper portion of the bodice around the shoulders is a single layer of the chiffon so that it has a touch of transparency. It is cut to skim over the bodice down to the waist. An attached panel of the same fabric wraps around your waist and hooks into place at the back for added shape and subtle detailing.
  • The dress falls from there in a swoop of feather light silk to the hem which widens out as it nears the floor. The back feels slightly fuller than the front so you get this pretty billowing effect around you when you walk. This is a signature Karl silhouette to give his dresses as much movement as possible.
  • The famous double C logo is worked throughout the floral print of the dress making it clear that you are wearing Chanel. 
  • The dress is lined with the same fabric through the bodice and the skirt is lined with a layer of a deep blue silk. It closes at the back with a hidden set zipper and has a hook and eye at the back of the neck with a keyhole between the two. The dress appears to have been worn very little if at all.

Phenomenal Fall 2011 Alexandre Vauthier Haute Couture Runway Look Hand Beaded Red Silk Chiffon Dress

I Have A Question: Phenomenal Fall 2011 Alexandre Vauthier Haute Couture Runway Look Hand Beaded Red Silk Chiffon Dress


  • The twin of this extraordinary dress walked the Fall 2011 Vauthier Haute Couture runway.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Alexandre Vauthier
  • Alexandre Vauthier launched his label in 2009. He started his fashion career in 1993 working for Thierry Mugler as an intern and working his way up to assistant designer to Mugler himself. In 1997 he joined Jean Paul Gaultier where he in charge of the Couture collections for the following eight years. 
  • He left in 2008 to open his own couture atelier showing his first collection in 2009. From 2011 to 2014 the label was a designated guest member of the Chambre Syndicale de haute couture and since December 2014 he has been a full Couture member. Vauthier departed the label in 2025 it was acquired by Revolve marking the end of the Couture division.
  • This is the actual piece that was shown on the runway and may very well be the only one in existence. I love that we have both the runway reference photos and video. You can see how fantastically it moves and looks once on the body.
  • The dress is made from a red silk chiffon that has an extensive and very dense application of red bead work hand applied onto it.
  • Every line of the dress has been precisely cut and patterned so that it falls perfectly in the lines that he intended it to be shaped in. 
  • The shoulders are soft and extend into long cut sleeves that are also completely and densely beaded to match the body of the dress. In the runway photo the shoulders look slightly more shaped than the dress in person to me and I think that they may have added temporary padding to style it for the show. Adding your own is a decision that could be made once you have it in hand and try it on.
  • The dress is cut to skim over the body and highlight it everywhere. The sleeves are cut a little extra long so that once on the arm they bunch up a touch. There is a cut out. opening that is left under each arm. I have photoed that so that you can see. This was probably done not only as a design choice but to allow movement and not have to worry about the bead work being constricted.
  • The neckline is scooped and the dress is shaped to come in at the waist and then curves back out and around the hips so that it skims perfectly over the body. 
  • The beadwork that sits over the sleeves and body of the dress has been done and a little sections that curve around each other and catch the light differently as you move. You can see in the video how this creates an almost flame like feel over you.
  • The skirt is absolutely amazing. As the beads run down over the hips to join into the skirt they become these long flame like ribbons of bead work that extend into varying lengths down and into the skirt. The effect is absolutely beautiful and perfectly picks up on the way the beads were executed through the body of the dress.
  • Under the beadwork, the skirt is made out of a red silk chiffon that is very light and weight. It curves slightly up at the front and then extends out into two angled points at the back which again feels like an extension of the flame motif that the dress has.
  • You can see on the runway that once very bright lights hit the skirt, it has a sense of transparency to it. That is quite extraordinary and done to highlight the bead work and add a bit of sexiness to the dress despite it full coverage. At the back it trails out past the hem to float around you as you walk.
  • The dress is amazing on the body and it is just a beautiful and very sexy dress and an extraordinary little piece of true Haute Couture fashion history.
  • The upper portion of the dress is lined in a silk chiffon through the body and the skirt is unlined. It closes with a hidden set back zipper and each cuff closes with a hidden set zipper. This is the actual dress that was worn on the runway and is completely made by hand. It is the original runway sample dress. The beads have been hand sewn so closely to the edges of the zipper that you do have to take care when zipping and unzipping the dress as they can catch and you can see a little bit of catching of thread and perhaps the very occasional missing bead here and there along that edge. I am being pretty picky. This was done to give the illusion that the dress has no opening. Inside the silk chiffon that was used to line the dress is very delicate and there have been some repairs made. This was probably done after the runway show to strengthen parts of the inner lining and can be typical of runway samples. I also see a touch of a mark on one arm on the inner lining, a small tear and some repairs to the silk of the lining. None of this shows through but is mentioned for accuracy and is photoed after the label shot. Some of the seam work is handed basted and this adds to the feel that this is the original sample because that is often how you see runway samples finished.
  • There is no size tag present because it is Haute couture sample so please go by the measurements listed below
  • Excellent condition

Sleeves: 28" and they are 9.5" around the upper arm
Shoulders: 14"

  • It was the second to last look on the runway and one of the best dresses shown. I think it may have been inspired by a dress that I have had in the shop - this Spring 1977 Jean Patou. When they show originally debuted I had shared this in my stories and now I have this modern Dior version for you. A true full circle moment.
  • I think it was one of the most beautiful pieces in the entire show and it is absolute magical in person.
  • The dress is made out of a light-weight silk that is covered in a gold metallic thread. The underlined silk has a bit of a pattern on it and then the gold has been applied over that.
  • The gold metallic part is done in a leaf pattern that trails over the entire dress. The metallic gold catches the light from all angles and gives it this wonderful added extra texture. 
  • As it near the hem the gold begins to soften and change into the solid silk. The entire dress had been softly pleated and the pleating adds yet another layer of texture to the dress.
  • It is suspended from twisted straps that curve over the shoulder and cross over each other at the back. The front plunges into a V and the back is left bare underneath the crossed straps. I love the curving angle of the sides. 
  • The waist nips in and then the skirt falls to the floor under that in a sweep of silk and gold thread. There is an incredible amount of fabric in the skirt. The fabric is feather light and so fine that when you stand still it falls in a column but moves around you with your slightest movement.
  • No matter how great the photos look it is that much better in person. The fabric is stunning. It is a really beautiful dress.
  • The dress is fully lined in a nude silk chiffon and closes with a hidden set back zipper. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. It is in it's original uncut length.
  • Tagged a modern Dior FR36, GB8, IT40, US4.

I Have A Question: Beautiful Cruise 2011 Christian Dior by John Galliano Red Silk Chiffon Dress w Gathered Front


  • This gorgeous dress is from the Cruise 2011 collection.
  • It was made under the creative direction of John Galliano.
  • On the runway there was a dress that used a similar pleat pattern on the front bodice for Look 26.
  • The runway show took place in Shanghai and Galliano said at the time that he was trying to "capture the feeling of Paris in its heyday".
  • The dress is made from a red silk chiffon that has a bit of a coral undertone and a touch of texture to it. 
  • Wide straps curve up and around the neck and the back scoops down to leave your upper back bare and exposed. At the front the neckline plunges into a V.
  • The silk is gathered vertically on both sides at the front. All of the gathered pleats are held in place by a series of horizontal ruffles in a matching silk that run down the front. I love how the pleat work narrows down to a point at the waist. This helps to add the illusion of both length and a tinier waistline. 
  • The skirt is gathered up and into the sides of the point at the front. It skims and curves over the hips and then it widens out as it nears the floor.
  • By the time it reaches the hem there is a lot of fabric there and this gives you fantastic movement as you move. This was a silhouette that Galliano loved.
  • A high slit runs up from the hem on the top layer of the skirt only. This lets that top chiffon layer catch the air and add even more movement as you walk. 
  • The dress is fully lined in a matching red silk. One of his signature rows of matching silk covered buttons and loops run down one side and this hides a hidden set zipper underneath to close the dress. It appears to have good morning very little if little effort at all.

Gorgeous Resort 2011 Givenchy by Ricardo Tisci Look 5 Striking Red Lace & Black Net Dress

I Have A Question: Gorgeous Resort 2011 Givenchy by Ricardo Tisci Look 5 Striking Red Lace & Black Net Dress


  • The twin of this dress was Look 5 for the Resort Givenchy collection.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Ricardo Tisci
  • This was his fifth year at the label and in the Vogue review of the show they noted that Tisci told them that the colour palette of black, red and white mixed with the occasional leopard was inspired by Frida Kahlo and her animal-filled paintings.
  • The dress is made out of a black net with a red lace overlay strategically placed over the dress to emphasize the cut and design.
  • The dress is is suspended from two tiny straps that curve up and over the shoulder. The very upper edge of the bodice is finished with leather piping.
  • The bodice is cut to skim over you and I love how the red has been applied on the black to give you extra coverage and really highlight the cut and flow of the dress.
  • It continues down to skim over the waist in a more loose and generous feel and then it occurs back out over the hips
  • The skirt cascades outward from there to the floor and it is fuller by the time it reaches the hem. The lace applied around the bottom and the way it is cut helps to hold the shape around you.
  • That combination of red lace and netting that has been applied over the dress creates a beautiful and striking pattern. The pop of red against the transparent black net is even more striking once on the body and you see the transparency through it that contrast against the red lace and netting.
  • The width of the lower skirt allows the dress to move beautifully around you as you move.
  • The inner black silk chiffon slip acts as the lining. Both the dress and the inner slip have no closure and simply slipped over the head to wear. I see a couple of tiny repairs in the net near the raw edge finish of the skirt. Very minor but mention for accuracy.

I Have A Question: Fabulous Fall 2011 Emilio Pucci by Peter Dundas Runway Look 3 Green Print Corset Front Dress


  • The twin of this dress was presented for Look 3 for the Fall 2011 Pucci collection
  • It was made under the creative direction of Peter Dundas. 
  • Besides being shown on the runway it also made an appearance on the amfAR red carpet that season.
  • I love that all the various reference photos and video give you an amazing idea of how gorgeous this is on the body.
  • The dress is made out of the classic modern Pucci jersey that makes it extremely comfortable to wear but also perfectly defined your curves. The fabric has some stretch and it is lined in a black stretch silk so that it sits very flattering on top of the body. 
  • The front neck is scooped and is edged in a bit of ruffled raw edged silk for a pretty detail. The shoulders are soft and the sleeves are long.
  • Each sleeve zips to close around the wrist and are finished with that same pretty little ruffle detail.
  • The front bodice is phenomenal. It has an inner boned corset piece that starts near the top of the shoulders and then comes down in on angle to the waist. This helps to flatten out the front and push the breasts up. It is a nod to a historical front corset and is very flattering once on the body.
  • It skims over the bust and waist around this front corset piece and is brought in slightly to add shape around the waist area. From there it curves back out over the hips and falls to the floor.
  • The bottom flares out quite a bit so you have some movement around you when you move. You can see that on the runway video. The back is cut longer than the front so you get a pretty sweeping feel behind you.
  • This is a gorgeous example of Peter's time at the label.
  • The dress is fully lined in a black stretch silk layer. The back of the corset part is lined in a black cotton mix. It closes with a back hidden set zipper and has hidden set zippers at each wrist. The jersey has some stretch and I have put the comfortable range of measurements below. Its easy fit and stretch should allow it to fit a range of sizes. It is in its original uncut length. It appears to have been worn very little, if at all.

I Have A Question: Gorgeous Resort 2012 Lanvin by Aber Elbaz Ivory Lace, Silk & Silk Netting Wedding Dress


  • The twin of this dress was a part of the presentation for the Resort 2012 collection.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Alber Elbaz.
  • The dress is made of an ivory cotton lace with silk net edging that falls beautifully over the body. It is a dress that is easy to wear and very flattering.
  • The bodice has a soft and romantic feel as it glides over you. The shoulders are wide and curve into a shallow scoop at the front. I love how he chose to edge the neckline and openings for the arms with that little bit of silk for a pretty contrast.
  • The lace skims over the bust and is cut more generously around the waist. This helps to keep the silhouette soft and pretty. If you did want a more defined shape you could easily add a belt or silk ribbon around the waist that could be as elaborate as or simple as you wished it to be.
  • The lace skims past the waist and then the skirt is set over top of the lace of the bodice in a very deliberate way that makes the seam there a part of the design. The workmanship is exquisite where they meet and I love how the fabric of the skirt has been gathered into little ruffles that curve all the way around you.
  • From there it falls over the hips and down to the floor in a beautiful drape of lace. The fabric is light and soft and there is an additional layer of silk chiffon underneath so that it feels amazing against the skin. It is cut supermodel long in length. All of the fabric that was gathered in around the top of the hips is allowed to expand and give you the fullness of the skirt so that you get this pretty sweep of fabric around you when you move.
  • It is extremely pretty and romantic in feel.
  • The dress is fully lined in an ivory silk chiffon. It closes with an exposed bronze colour zipper at the side. It appears to have been worn very little at all.

Spring 2015 Dolce & Gabbana Runway Look 48 Silk Brocade Mini Dress w Elaborate Front Embellishments

I Have A Question: Spring 2015 Dolce & Gabbana Runway Look 48 Silk Brocade Mini Dress w Elaborate Front Embellishments


  • The twin of this dress was Look 48 on the Spring 2015 Dolce and Gabbana runway
  • It was made under the creative direction of Domenico Solce and Stefano Gabbana
  • This dress was only available as a special order piece and the original price was just over 20,000 euros. They were made on a very limited basis.
  • The embellishment on this piece was done to a Couture/Alta Moda level. It combines hand carved metal and has different kinds of embellishments that all been placed by hand in the pattern that you see over the dress on both the front, sides and back. There are small 3D silver flowers with pearls topping them, hand-made red patent leather flowers in various sizes, 3D three layered golden metal carved flowers with red crystal rhinestones, and big hand carved metal plates, with some of rhinestones directly embedded onto the metal plates. It is truly a work of art and showcases the very best of the Dolce ateliers.
  • I love that we have reference photos so that you can see how fantastic this is once it sits on an actual body.
  • The embellishments cover the entire front bodice of the dress and then run all the way around the band at the waist. The skirt is equally covered at the front with the embellishments continuing around to the sides. I have taken multiple photos, including ones of the dress laying flat so that you can see just how elaborate and wonderful all of the embellishments are.
  • The dress is made out of a white silk brocade that has a pattern on pattern to the silk for the perfect backdrop to the elaborate detailing added onto it. 
  • The shoulders are soft and the sleeves curve over the top of your shoulder. The neck line is scooped. It skims over your bust to a wide band that highlights the waist. The skirt flares out to a mini length hem. 
  • The dress is fully lined in a white silk and closes with a back zipper. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.

Spring 2018 Valentino by Pierpaolo Piccioli Pink Silk Organza Dress w Rhinestones & Metallic Silver Appliques

I Have A Question: Spring 2018 Valentino by Pierpaolo Piccioli Pink Silk Organza Dress w Rhinestones & Metallic Silver Appliques


  • The dress is from the Spring 2018 Valentino collection.
  • It was made under the Creative Direction of Pierpaolo Piccioli 
  • This was a red carpet favourite and its twin was seen on both Nicole Kidman and Nicky Hilton It is a beautiful example of how wonderful Pierpaolo could cut a dress. 
  • Over the course of his time at Valentino Pierpaolo did several variations of these elaborate ruffled and embellished dresses in different fabrications and each is beautiful. The cut of the dress makes it easy to wear and it is very flattering once on the body. It has a beautifully feminine feel and is very striking with the addition of the ruffles. The pink is infinitely gorgeous on almost every skin tone. 
  • The dress is fabulous and is even better in person than how it photoed here.
  • It is made from a pink silk organza mixed with panels of lace set in a chevron pattern that runs down the bodice and top of the skirt on both the back and the front. These fabric choices keeps it light in weight but still give it enough structure to hold that gorgeous shape that you see.
  • The neck is cut high with a band of lace running around the neck. A little ruffle of organza runs around the bottom of the collar and this sets the tone for the rest of the dress.
  • A ruffle details the top of each shoulder, the end of the cuffs, and then more ruffles are set throughout the dress and around the hem.
  • The bodice is cut to skim over you and I love the bit of play on transparency with the very top of the bodice and the sleeves with them being a single layer of the organza. The shoulders are soft and the sleeves are long and slightly taper down to a ruffled wrist.
  • The waist is detailed with more ruffles and is cut slightly on the more generous size. This is a signature cut for him and makes the dress very easy and flattering to wear. 
  • The skirt falls from there to the floor. It is wonderfully full and extremely elaborate. Chevron panels of lace detail the top portion of the skirt and then panels of organza continue down set on angles for the full length of the skirt. Every second panel of organza has a ruffle peeking out from underneath. The skirt is very wide by the time it reaches the hem and it has wonderful movement. 
  • Over the entire dress is an absolutely gorgeous mix of hand set rectangular silver metallic sequins that are set vertically over the dress. These are mixed with hand set pronged rhinestones that follow the design of the dress. On the sleeves they are set in vertical rows and then throughout the dress they are set in angled rows to follow the chevron design of the lace and organza. 
  • This was a special order piece and very few were made.
  • The dress is fully lined in a pink silk. It closes with a hidden back set zipper and buttons at the back of the neck. Each sleeve has a button at the wrist. It is in its original uncut length. It has its original tags attached and was never worn.

I Have A Question: Incredible Fall 2010 Gucci by Frida Giannini Runway Look 45 Strapless Dress Covered w Pailettes & Matching Capelet


  • The twin of this dress walk the runway for the Fall 2010 collection for Look 45.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Frida Giannini.
  • This was one of a series of evening pieces done for the finale of the show and was one of the best of those final looks. I am very glad that we have the runway photos so that you can see how this will properly fit on the body once on.
  • The dress is strapless and there is a band made out of a chocolate suede that runs around the top of the bodice. Inside there is light boning to and structure and help to hold the dress properly in place.
  • It skims over the bust and is shaped slightly inwards at the waist and then curves back out over the hips. It falls to just above the knee depending on your height.
  • The dress can be worn on its own or you can wear the matching little shoulder capelet feeling piece that comes with the dress. My dress form is cut slightly shorter through the body so the bottom edge of the shoulder piece is coming to the top of the dress. Depending on your height and build it will either sit the same or sit above the top to leave a strip of bare skin showing like you see in the runway photos.
  • The base is a deeper brown and then that has thousands of iridescent sequin pailettes attached in little clusters over the entire dress. These are in different sizes and the smaller ones are attached top bottom to the dress and then the longer pieces are attached at their tops only so they have this incredible movement and slight sound when you move.
  • The shoulder piece is made out of two layers of black silk net. It has more of the same iridescent pailettes attached to it. The ones on this piece have a more clear undertone, whereas the ones on the dress have a slightly brown undertone. The slightly different colour and transparency of the base fabric gives the capelet a touch of a contrasting colour to the dress.
  • The shoulder piece snaps to close at the back and has little built in openings for your arms to fit through so that it stays perfectly in place once on. I also love that you could where these as a set as shown on the runway or mix and match with other things in your wardrobe.
  • The dress is fully lined in light brown silk. The inner corset piece that is lightly boned has its own zipper and then a second zipper sits over that to close the dress. Part of the back goes over the zipper and snaps into place. It sat down slightly from the top edge of the dress, so you see a bit of the under part of the dress. This is a detail that was done purposefully. The shoulder piece snaps to close at the back with hidden set snaps. Perhaps the occasional sequin missing but no overly bare spots and the pattern does have open spots purposely built into it. The original tags are attached and it was never worn.

I Have A Question: Spring 2018 Michael Kors Runway Look 72 Silver Sequin Dress on Nude Stretch Net w Asymmetrical Hem


  • The twin of this dress walked the runway for the Spring 2018 show as Look 72.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Michael Kors.
  • The dress is fantastically documented and was one of the hit looks of the season. It was used in the ad campaign, was worn on the red carpet and appeared in editorials that season. The dress sold out worldwide and was waitlisted. In the shops this dress sold for just over $7000 USD.
  • The dress is made out of a lingerie feeling stretch net as its base and it has a lining of the same fabric. That gives it just enough opaqueness to comfortably wear, but still has a feel of being nude from a distance.
  • Onto that is an elaborate design done in thousands of tiny silver sequins. The sequins cover the entire dress so that it glitters in the light from every angle.
  • The neck is scooped and the shoulders are soft. The sleeves are long and narrow in slightly at each cuff where they have a hidden set zipper to close. 
  • The stretch of the base material allows it to skim over you and feel fitted but at the same time you still have that movement in the fabric that makes it very comfortable to wear. The perfect combination of fit and comfort.
  • It follows the body, coming in at the waist and then curving back out over the hips. It starts to widen under the hips and there is a seam that is set on a slanted angle.
  • The skirt is set in along the slanted angle and follows the angle so that you get an amazing asymmetrical feel. There is a lot of fabric in the skirt so when you move it has fantastic movement around you. You can see this in the runway reference video.
  • This is Michael Kors at his best and a phenomenally collectible dress.
  • The dress is fully lined in a second layer of the stretch net through the body and skirt. The sleeves are unlined. It closes with a hidden set back zipper and each sleeve has a hidden set zipper at the cuff. It appears to have been worn very little at all.

I Have A Question: Spring 2017 Simone Rocha Runway Look 6 Transparent Raincoat w Embroidered Tulle Backing


  • The twin of this coat walked the runway for Look 6 on the Spring 2017 Simone Rocha runway.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Simone Rocha.
  • Vogue said of the collection "when it comes down to it, Rocha's work always consists of a limited set of templates: trenchcoats, loosely fitted, lacy, semi sheer dresses, frills and florals, clear plastic heed shoes, and bags. This time, she used her utilitarian theme to bring in wrapping and tying, often leaving one shoulder of raincoat and jackets hanging off, and adding soft Crossbody sling bags on top." 
  • This is one of the pieces where she left one sleeve hanging off the model. It was shown on the runway layered over a dress.
  • The fabric of this is fascinating. It is made out of a clear plastic raincoat fabric that has an ivory net backing. To hold the two fabrics together it is rolled and stitched at the edges but it also has a floral pattern embroidered through both layers. The final effect is this whimsical embroidered raincoat fantasy piece.
  • The cut is pure Simone in feel with all of the exaggerated volume and pomp that you expect from her work.
  • The collar around the neck is rounded and the as it runs down the length of the front it can be flipped back on itself with buttonholes placed down the front so that you can secure it in place. I have kept it buttoned for all of these photos but you could also undo them and wear it unbuttoned. They can also act double duty as different ways to close and style the jacket.
  • The body is loose and easy with slash huge pockets built in around the hip. From there it expands outwards to become extremely full and open.
  • It can be worn with all of that volume on full display, or you can use its matching belt to cinch in the waist and add extra extraordinary shape so that you have volume above and below.
  • The sleeves are phenomenal. They are more like a mini cape than a sleeve. They come out from where they are set into the body of the coat and are completely open underneath. The hem of each sleeve is gathered in so that you get a very full poof above. I love that each sleeve has ties attached. Those ties are used to wrap around the arm and tie in place to create further shape.
  • The entire jacket has a feeling of transformation because of the belt and ties at the arm and the way the buttons run down the front. You really have several options in the way that you can wear it.
  • This would also make a phenomenal piece, not just for the collector, but as a piece for a bride looking for a unique cover-up.
  • The coat is unlined and has a some transparency. It buttons down the front if you wish and the belt can be buckled or tied into place. The plastic has retained a touch of the dry cleaning solvent smell. It is not overwhelming, but I do want to mention it for accuracy. Because of the textile it would be impossible to not have this happen. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.
  • There is no size tag present but its open and generous cut should fit most frames. It will just feel more oversized on a smaller frame.
  • Excellent condition

Sleeves: 25" and they are full and open through the upper arm
Shoulders: no true seam. They are meant to slightly drop on a smaller frame and can accommodate a larger one.
Bust: to 26" flat across from side seam to side seam
Waist-hips: open
Total length: 50" from neck to hem

I Have A Question: Striking Resort 2019 Alex Perry "Abigail" Brilliant Orange Full Length Capes Sleeve Dress w Open Back


  • The twin of this dress in black was presented for the Resort 2019 Alex Perry collection.
  • It was made under the creative Direction of Alex Perry.
  • Alexandros Pertsinidis is an Australian fashion designer who launched the Alex Perry label in 1992. His work has been featured on numerous the covers worldwide since then and is a favorite on the red carpet. It's been worn by celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Rita Ora, Katy Perry, Lupita Nyong and countless others.
  • The twin of this dress was seen on the red carpet on Britt Lower and Dina Amer.
  • The dress does not have a single unnecessary seam. It really shows how sometimes absolute minimalism is best.
  • The dress is made from a combination of a brilliant orange crepe through the body with a matte satin crepe for those incredible sleeves. The fabric choice has a beautiful drape. This is what lets it move so beautifully over the body once it is on.
  • It is constructed so that it drapes and skims over the body perfectly. The skirt falls to the floor in a sweeping expanse of fabric. When you stand still it looks more like a sleek column but when you move you realize how much fabric is in there as it billows out behind you.
  • The bodice drapes softly over you at the front and the shoulders are padded inside so that they have a defined and shaped silhouette. Caped sleeves fall all the way to the floor to create this elegant and dramatic feeling over your arms.
  • The fabric has enough weight that it stays in place when you are standing still but when you move you get a billowing effect around you.
  • The waist has a touch of stretch so the dress is easy to fit and should work on a range of sizes.
  • At the back there is a full cut out that leaves your entire back bare. This unexpected expanse of skin when you turn around is amazing.
  • The inner part of the front bodice is lined in an orange matte satin with extra define seaming to help shape the bodice. The skirt has an inner underlay skirt in the same fabric and the sleeves are unlined. It closes with a hidden set zipper at the back waist and buttons at the back of the neck.  It comes with its original hang tag attached and was never worn.

I Have A Question: Iconic Spring 2011 Gucci by Frida Giannini Runway Look 41 Burnt Orange Silk Cord, Brass & Feather Dress


  • Note that due to new regulations concerning shipping feathers this dress can only ship to a Canadian or Non-US address. Touch base if you need more information.
  • The twin of this piece was Look 41 on the runway for Spring 2011.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Frida Giannini.
  • This is one of the instantly recognizable and well-known Gucci dresses. It was worn and shot for countless editorials and worn on the red carpet. We have attached many examples here and there are probably more.
  • The dress is an incredible achievement and shows just how high-end and detailed ready-to-wear can be at the hands of a heritage label. It verges on Couture.
  • A burnt orange silk is covered with a multitude of textures and materials. It is cut across at the front with a bib feeling extension that ties up and around the neck. A silk cord is how it ties in place and this ends in silk tassels at the front. The bib is finished with orange tinted acrylic pieces that top metal beading, glass beading and little muted brass metal pieces along with prong-set rhinestones. On the outer sides of the cording is a row of brass pieces shaped to represent feathers and these curve like jewellery along  each side.
  • The body of the dress has a panel down the front and back made up of horizontal set silk cording that is held in place by brass open beads that the silk slips through. The sides of the dress have more of that same mix of materials that the bib on the neck does and then the lower portion of the sides are finished with a combination of hand-dyed feathers and brass pieces mixed in between the rows.
  • The work goes all the way around to the back and the dress does have some weight because of the work on it but it feels balanced and easy to wear once on.
  • The shape is very flattering and it skims over you coming in slightly at the waist and curving around the hips. Depending on your height it is going to sit just above the knee or to the knee.
  • This is a very rare and pristine example of one of the most famous dresses that Frida created during her time at Gucci.
  • It is fully lined in a matching coloured silk and there is a built-in lightly boned corset piece attached through the top. It closes offset at the back with a zipper that has Gucci engraved on a zipper pull and then the inner corset closes with its own zipper. There is the tiniest bit of grubbiness along the inner upper bodice.
  • There is no size tag present so please go by the listed measurements below.
  • Excellent condition 

Bust: 15-16" flat across from side seam to side seam
Inner waist: 12-13" flat across from side seam to side seam
Hips: 17" flat across from side seam to side seam
Total length: approx 39" from neck to hem and you can adjust slightly with how you tie it around the neck.

Outstanding Fall 2010 Alexander McQueen Gray Scale Print Silk Dress w Caped Sleeves & Trained Skirt

I Have A Question: Outstanding Fall 2010 Alexander McQueen Gray Scale Print Silk Dress w Caped Sleeves & Trained Skirt


  • This is an outstanding production dress from the Fall 2010 collection. 
  • It was made under the creative direction of Alexander McQueen.
  • At first glance it feels very much in line with what he was doing for 2007 with his castle /fairy prints. For this collection he visited upon graphic black and grey-scale prints once again. We did find a photo from the 2010 look book that shows a shorter similar version of the dress. Just to give you an idea of how the top especially will fit once on the body.
  • The dress is made out of a beautifully weighted silk that he loved to use because it gave him the drape and fluidity that he wanted his pieces to have.
  • The shoulders of the dress are padded with thicker rounded pads hidden inside. Falling from there and extending around to the back is a beautiful caped panel that drapes over the top of your arms and then folds up and under itself to create the draping around and down the back. He used a double layer of the silk for this panel so that when you move you see the pattern underneath. It is these exacting small details that always make a McQueen piece stand out.
  • The front neck line is set in a draping cowl that sits over an inner V. The dress skims over the bust and waist and then widens out to curve over the hips.
  • Yards and yards of fabric have been used to construct the skirt. It is set into the body of the dress on a curving seam that is beautiful. He often use these curving and angled seams that are throwback to Couture pieces of the 1920s and 30s and here he has used it beautifully. The silk in the skirt is all cut on the bias. The back trails out longer behind you and all of this adds up to spectacular movement around you when you move.
  • This is a truly outstanding McQueen dress.
  • The dress is fully lined in a black silk and closes with a hidden set partial mid-set zipper at the back whose placement is again a nod to the Couture pieces of the 20s and 30s. The shoulders are padded. It appears to have been worn very little if at all

  • The twin of this dress was Look 15 in the Spring Monique Lhuillier presentation.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Monique Lhuillier.
  • We have included a photo of it on the Dee Hilfiger in between that and the presentation photo, you can see how spectacular this dress is on the body.
  • The Lookbook was shot at a picturesque French château and Lhuillier  said of the show that she "wanted the clothes to be seen in the place where they might be worn”.
  • The bodice is strapless and cut to hug you and shape your curves. The peaks at the front are high and the netted tulle wraps over the bodice with variations in colour to add a bit of interest and depth. Inside it boned and shaped and the back scoops down and around.
  • The waist is nipped in and then the skirt explodes out from under that. The skirt is spectacular. It is layers and layers of tulle set on top of each other and cut in different sections to get its elaborate shape.
  • Underneath each layer is netting cut to follow the shape above and then that has a wide panel of stiffened netting that goes all the way around you and follows the pattern of the skirt. The back is cut a little longer so that you get a bit of a trailing effect behind you.
  • The bodice has a built-in netted and lightly boned corset and the skirt is lined in a pink silk. Layers of netting underneath the tulle as described above. Retailed just over $10k and produced in limited quantities. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.

Etheral Spring 2018 Chanel by Karl Lagerfeld Runway Look 89 Finale Strapless Metallic Silver Dress

I Have A Question: Etheral Spring 2018 Chanel by Karl Lagerfeld Runway Look 89 Finale Strapless Metallic Silver Dress


  • The twin of this dress walked the runway for Spring 2018 Collection as Look 89.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Karl Lagerfeld.
  • This was the final closing wedding look of the collection and is an outstanding and rare piece of Chanel history.
  • On the runway it was layered underneath a chiffon ruffled top. It works fabulously on its own as well.
  • Lurex threads, crystal jewellery and transparent elements ran throughout the collection. Vogue noted that "the integrate balance between natural looking textures and advanced technical skills, was breathtakingly dynamic to behold." Karl himself noted that all of the fabrics were made by Chanel in-house with "not a fabric here which you can buy elsewhere". 
  • And indeed the fabric on the dress is extraordinary. It is in almost weightless silk chiffon with multiple shades of ultra fine metallic silver thread woven through the silk into horizontal rows.
  • The dress is strapless and inside the bodice there is a full built-in corset to hold the dress in place. The corset has its own zipper to close and is boned all the way around. I love that the lining of that corset has been embossed with various Chanel logos and the Camelia flower.
  • At the front the fabric is set in criss cross panels that angle down and over the bodice. It is cut to come in for some shape through the waist and then curves back out over the hips. The angling and overlap of the fabric panels creates an interesting visual detail. At the back he has stacked those same layers in a true horizontal pattern and I love seeing the slight difference from the front and back as you turn.
  • The skirt is phenomenal. It curves down and out from underneath the last stacked panel and is set in beautiful ruffled tiers.
  • At the front the ruffles sweep up to the centre to leave an expanse of bare leg showing and the ruffles move fantastically around your legs when you move. And at the back they fall to create a beautiful movement behind you.
  • In person the dress is a paler, more apparent silver, and it has a real sense of lightness that the photos do not convey.
  • A little silver Chanel plaque sits on one hip for the perfect finish.
  • The dress is fully lined in a soft silver grey Chanel logo embossed silk through the body of the dress and again for the inner corset. The corset is boned all the way around inside and closes with its own separate zipper. An attached inner waist stay hooks to close. A hidden set back zipper closes over that. Inside the bodice there is a band of a slightly rubberized fabric that goes around the top of the inside bodice to help hold it in place. Beautifully made. The dress appears to have been worn very little if at all.

Fall 2016 Valentino by Pierpaolo Piccioli & Maria Grazia Chiuri Net Dress w Silver Sequin & Beads

I Have A Question: Fall 2016 Valentino by Pierpaolo Piccioli & Maria Grazia Chiuri Net Dress w Silver Sequin & Beads


  • The twin of this dress walked the runway for Look 80 in the Fall 2016 collection.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Pierpaolo Piccioli & Maria Grazia Chiuri.
  • Its twin was featured in an editorial for Marie Claire Spain that season.
  • The colours for the Fall 2016 Valentino show were muted dusty pinks, greys, neutrals and blacks.
  • The theme of the Valentino show was all about the ballet and modern dance. Maria told Vogue that “We always think fashion is cultural, not just about delivering clothes. We want this show to be about living your moments, feeling each moment uniquely. I really love fashion. This job we do is a good opportunity to describe the time we’re in.”
  • The entire dress is made from a pale nude tulle netting that has just a hint of a pink undertone to it. It is lined in a matching silk so that is so opaque enough to wear. That lining could be removed if you preferred a full transparent feel.
  • Scattered over the tulle are silver sequins that each have a tiny clear bead topping the sequin. These catch the light from every angle.
  • The dress is suspended from tiny net straps that curve up and over each shoulder. The front scoops across and the upper back is left bare and exposed.
  • A ruffled panel of the netting is attached all the way around the neck line and as it curves towards the back it gets wider so that it drapes down the sides and just past the waist at the back. This adds a pretty feminine and airy feel to the dress.
  • The waist is seamed to nip in and the skirt is full and easy over the hips. It is very wide and full by the time it reaches the hem. Under the top layer of netting are three additional netted layers. The layer in the middle of those three has a double hem and all of this built in under-skirting helps to hold the volume and give the skirt its structure and shape. A final opaque layer in silk sits against your skin.
  • This is absolutely one of the dresses that was heavily influenced by the ballet, and I love that about it.
  • The dress is fully lined in a matching silk and closes with hidden set back zipper. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.

I Have A Question: Pre-Fall 2016 Saint Laurent by Hedi Slimane Runway Look 37 Gold Metallic Thread & Sequin Feather Dress


  • This is a very rare dress from the Pre-Fall 2013 YSL collection.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Hedi Slimane.
  • The twin of the dress was Look 37 on the runway of 93 looks and the collection was also celebrating the 50th anniversary of the YSL Rive Gauche label. Dresses had a touch of the 70s and the textiles were elaborate including this phenomenal piece.
  • Lady Gaga was also shot wearing its twin. 
  • The dress has amazing movement and I love that you can see that in the reference photo and video. 
  • The dress is made out of a black silk and then that has an amazing peacock feather pattern that follows the lines of the dress. The feather design is made out of gold metallic thread to create the pattern that you see. Gold sequins are set in in amongst the pattern to highlight the design, and then tiny little more muted gold sequence follow the ends of the feathers. This combination of sequence on the goal allows the dress to glint beautifully in the light from every angle.
  • The front is cut in a V and the bust is cut to skim over you to the waist. The waist has some shape defined by a band of a matching fabric that runs all the way around you.
  • The sleeves are phenomenal. They are cut in a diamond shape at their ends so they fall at different lengths over the arm. The pattern is set over that running down the lengths of the sleeves.
  • The skirt has a head pointed finish at the side and it is incredibly full. When I lay flat. It is a full circle all the way around. The amount of fabric gives you tremendous movement as you move.
  • I also love how this increases the depth and weight of the pattern. The feather pattern runs down the length of the skirt all the way around you and when you move and you get the feel of how much silk and gold actually makes up the skirt. It is just phenomenal.
  • On the runway, it was shown belted in with a scarf. These are pieces that were sold separately. If you prefer that look, it would be easy to add pieces of your own to re-create it.
  • These extensively beaded pieces or produced in limited quantities. This is a phenomenal example of his time at the label.
  • The dress is fully lined in a black silk and closes with a hidden set back zipper. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.

  • The twin of the dress was presented for the Resort 2018 Michael Kors presentation.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Michael Kors
  • The show was presented at the Whitney Museum and he said that he chose that space to remind people that they live on an island, calling the theme "Tropicalia a la Tomboy". The evening pieces he described as being the "super easy, super glamorous point of the whole collection."
  • This is a fantastically easy dress to wear and has all the hallmarks of the amazing tailoring that Michael excels at with this particular silhouette of dress.
  • The shoulders are soft and the sleeves are small caps. The neckline is slightly scooped and the bust skims over you with perfectly placed darts to help shape it around the body.
  • The waist is seamed for shape and then it curves out over the hips. It falls in a chic pencil shape that will land just below the knee depending on your height.
  • The base fabric is a fine black virgin wool with a bit of spandex added so that it has some stretch and feels insanely comfortable once on the body.
  • Onto that is a lovely and intricate design that runs over the entire dress. It combines tiny gold sequins that are set to overlap and create the outline of a abstract design that is filled with a little teardrop and circle shaped glossy black paillette sequins. These are only attached at their very tips so they have the slightest bit of movement. They are so densely applied that they sit off of the dress slightly to create an amazing three dimensional texture.
  • It is very chic, very easy and very Michael Kors.
  • The dress is fully lined in black silky rayon and closes at the back with the hidden set zipper. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.

I Have A Question: Dreamiest 2010s Valentino Off White Silk Wedding Dress w Tiered Ivory Lace & Ruffle Skirt


  • This stunning Valentino wedding dress is new with tags and was never worn. It is beautifully made.
  • The wedding collections are not as well documented as the regular collections so dating them is a little trickier but this is most likely from the late 2010s.
  • It is a beyond gorgeous for the bride looking to make a chic and elegant statement.
  • This is a stunning dress. Tiny matching silk straps curved up and over each shoulder. It is cut fairly straight across the neck line and skims over the bust to the waist in a simple silhouette that has the perfect classic feel to it.
  • Centred and tacked into place at the front of the bodice is a large flat bow that is made out of the same silk. I love the nod to the 1950s that this gives the dress while still staying thoroughly modern in feel.
  • From there the skirt falls to the floor and widens out dramatically as it nears the hem. For the majority of these photos I have added a light crinoline underneath so that you could see how full the skirt is. We also shot it with no crinoline underneath so you can see how it naturally falls. I think that if you wanted it to be even fuller you could easily achieve that by adding a very full underskirt.
  • The skirt is a work of art. It is done in an incredible 23 layers of ruffled bands of the same silk alternated with a lace in a matching colour. I love that this gives it an almost petticoat feel that is purposefully meant to be seen.
  • Each stacked band of either the silk or lace gradually gets fuller around as they near the floor and this is what creates the volume of the skirt that you see.
  • All of that volume gives you incredible movement while still maintaining structure so the general shape and fullness of the skirt is not lost when you move. The way this moves around you is magical.
  • The dress is fully lined in a matching silk and closes with a hidden set side zipper. It has its original hang tag attached.

Pre-Fall 2018 Chanel by Karl Lagerfeld Grey Runway Look 13 Grey Pin Striped Pant & Jacket Pant Suit

I Have A Question: Pre-Fall 2018 Chanel by Karl Lagerfeld Grey Runway Look 13 Grey Pin Striped Pant & Jacket Pant Suit


I have a small grouping of Chanel pieces that will be listing over the next week or so and they all come from an avid Couture and Chanel collector. Many of these pieces were extremely difficult to source when they were released and were only made in very limited quantities. They are in amazing condition and all but one have their original shop packet that has the extra fabric and style information. These are exceptional pieces for the collector and each is extremely special.

This is a suit pieced together from the actual Chanel sample jacket for this look and then the pants were purchased at retail by my client. It is incredibly rare to find a sample piece so that is a little extra special. The twin of the suit was worn for Look 13 for the Chanel Métiers d’Art show. The show was set in the  Hamburg concert hall and that setting held an extra special place for Karl since it was his hometown. The concert hall had just been opened and for this show Karl mixed the modernity of the new space with his memories of Hamburg as a child “I’ve never left; this is part of me,” he reflected after the show. “I like Hamburg as an idea; something in the back of my mind.” Vogue noted 'You saw what that was, the essence of his inspiration, in a flash: Sailors in peaked caps on leave, girls in thigh-high boots and leather, the people who mill around docks and nightclubs. The clothes evoked ’60s beatniks, countercultural girls in sweaterdresses, smartly dressed officers in uniform, and naval ratings in sailor pants—looks that ran up and down the register of the cool, the hip, and the immaculately classic. It was an obvious, simple idea, really, but one marinated in a mind that has the sophistication to align the results with Coco Chanel’s heritage, and with what any girl would absolutely kill to wear right now.'

The lines of this suit are crisp and sharp and the tailoring is immaculate. Both pieces are made out of a pinstriped virgin wool that allows them to retain the exact lines that Lagerfeld intended while still staying light in weight. The jacket is cut so that it is fitted across the shoulders and then falls in a more box shape to the top of the hips. The collar is neat and small and I love how there is an inset of a white waffle weave cotton for a crisp little pop. That same little pop of cotton is set within each cuff so that it feels perfectly tied together. It buttons to close up one side and the buttons themselves are incredible. I took a detail shot so you can see that they are especially done with both Paris and Hamburg noted on them. The bottom hem is banded and there is a little top set pocket on one side. Each sleeve is long and straight and they end in a notched slit held by a button rather than a traditional cuff which falls in line with the sleek minimalist feel of the rest of the suit. Beside the little pop of white at the end there is also a little 'hidden' surprise of another functional pocket that sits at the end of the one sleeve nearest the pocket on the front. I am obsessed with this little detail. The pants are sleek and simple in their cut. They are flat fronted with a slanted slip pocket on each hip under the waist band. Two more pockets are at the  back and each is still tacked shut. The legs fall wide to the ankle with just the tiniest bit of a flare at the ends. Each leg is finished with a precise wide cuff. The inside of the suit is as immaculate as the outside and it is lined in a deep grey silk embossed with the Chanel logo. A signature Chanel chain runs along the inner hem of the jacket. Every stitch is perfection. Excellent condition with a minor note below. 

The jacket is lined in a grey Chanel embossed silk and closes with the buttons along the front panel as seen. It has a Chanel sample label and is tagged a modern Chanel 38. A pocket on the front and on each cuff. Metal embossed buttons and the signature Chanel chain around the inner hem. There is slight yellowing and grubbiness on the inner collar of the Chanel. The pants zip to close at the front and have hidden hook & eye at the bands. Slip pockets on each hip and two tacked shut pockets at the back The pants have their original Chanel packet and are tagged a modern Chanel 40

I Have A Question: Outstanding Fall 2016 Dolce & Gabbana Metallic Gold Brocade Playsuit w 3D Magic Mirror & Embroidered & Sequin Details


  • This is a limited edition piece from the Spring 2016 Dolce and Gabbana collection.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.
  • This amazing playsuit was only available as a special order piece. It was not a runway piece,but the embroidered magic mirror was a part of the runway show and we have included photos here for your reference.
  • The level of detail on this piece is very in line with their Alta Moda work. All of the embroidered pieces were done separately and then hand applied to the dress. It is truly a work of art and showcases the very best of the DG workshops.
  • The base fabric is a beautiful gold brocade that uses three different tones of gold applied in a slightly raised pattern on a mixed ivory and gold thread backdrop. The slight raising of the pattern gives it a beautiful tactile feel.
  • Wide straps curve up and over each shoulder and the front bodice is cut and shaped in a nod to a corset. Seams curve down and into the waist and at the back there is an inset of a stretch corset fabric in black. This makes it easier to fit and offers a pretty contrast to the gold. Inside it is lightly boned and shaped for support around you.
  • Embroidered black and gold cut out embellishments with gold sequin detailing have been applied onto and around the bodice. At the front they follow the dipping neckline and are set to extend off of the playsuit around the straps. At the sides they are set so that they actually sit up and off of the fabric as they curve around the sides. They continue around to the back towards the zipper at the centre.
  • The waist is seamed and then the shorts curve out from there to skim over your hips. The legs are wide and each one is a full 28" around. I love that the way they are cut makes it feel like you are wearing an ultra mini at first glance but you have the security and ease of wearing shorts. Slant pockets sit at each hip.
  • Set on an angle at the front is an embroidered and gold sequin mirror that says "who is the most beautiful" in script. This is the detail that was also seen on the runway for that season.
  • The final perfect finishing detail is the little heart emblem at the neckline. It has a red velvet backdrop and DG in a metal font applied onto it.
  • The playsuit is backed in a black silk through the bodice. It is lightly boned for shape and the shorts are lined in a black silk. It closes with a back zipper and the panel of black corset fabric across the back has a slight touch of stretch. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.

Exquisite Fall 2019 Giorgio Armani Runway Look 80 Velvet & Silk Ribbon Jumpsuit w Black Jet Beads

I Have A Question: Exquisite Fall 2019 Giorgio Armani Runway Look 80 Velvet & Silk Ribbon Jumpsuit w Black Jet Beads


  • The twin of this jumpsuit walked the runway for the Fall 2019 Gorgio Armani collection for the Look 80.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Giorgio Armani.
  • This is from his main label and its twin was also seen on both Cressida Bonas and Kelly Chen. I love having the reference photos so you can see how phenomenal it is once on the body.
  • The Fall 2019 show was co-ed with both male and female models on the runway. Vogue said in part that "Armani served a pre-millennial nightclub’s worth of smoky whorl and twist." Velvet, beading and wide silk bands were integral to the looks in the show.
  • The base fabric of the jumpsuit is an inky black velvet which gives the beading  added on top of it a luxurious background.
  • The neckline is high and finished with black silk piping. The shoulders are soft and slightly dropped. The arms narrow slightly at the wrist where they are also finished with black silk piping. At the back the fabric wraps over itself to button and snap into place along the neck line. Very interesting way to close the piece.
  • Starting at the centre of the neckline is a black silk ribbon that is 2.5" wide and it runs all the way down the front to the waist. A second ribbon is attached under that to wrap around the waist and tie at the front so that you can cinch in as much shape as you want. It can be worn with the waist left more generous and open, or very cinched.
  • On the runway, and in the reference photos, you can see that it the bodice is split completely open down each side of the ribbon. That split is technically. there on this one as well but it is currently tacked closed with an added modesty panel under the lower half of it inside. If you wanted the full split feel of the runway, it would be very easy to reverse this and have it completely open on both sides all the way to the waist. If you preferred it open just let me know upon purchase and I can have my tailor do that for you.
  • It skims over the bust and is cut generously around the waist for a easy to fit feel. The waist is finished with hidden elastic since there is no closure on the jumpsuit and you just simply slip it on to wear.
  • From under the waist it curves out over the hips and then the legs fall in a wide straight cut all the way. They are very wide and that, combined with the ease and drape of the velvet, gives you gorgeous movement as you walk and move. They are a full 26" around the hem of each pant.
  • Applied onto the jumpsuit is an intricate script pattern done in little faceted jet beads that are applied directly onto the velvet. These add the perfect amount of sparkle as they catch the light from every angle. If you look closely you will realize that they are his signature.
  • I have taken close-ups of the extraordinary amount of bead work that has been done to make these. It is really exquisite workmanship.
  • Hidden set pockets sit on each hip for the final perfect detail.
  • The jumpsuit is fully lined in fine black silk. It slips onto where and then buttons and snaps around the back of the neck line. It appears to have been worn very little at all.
  • Tagged a vintage Armani 42
  • Excellent condition
  • Sleeves: 22.75" and are 13" around the upper arm
    Soft slightly slouched shoulders: 16"
    Bust: to 20" flat across from side seam to side seam

    I Have A Question: Resort 2017 Valentino by Pierpaolo Piccioli & Maria Grazia Chiuri Collection Look 70 Black Net & White Embroidery Dress


    • The twin of this dress was shown for Look 70 of the resort 2017 Valentino collection.
    • It was made under the creative direction of Pierpaolo Piccioli & Maria Grazia Chiuri.
    • This ended up being the final collection that Maria worked on for the Valentino label.
    • The inspiration behind the collection was Cuba and the looks were rife with embroidery and print. Piccioli remarked that "It gave us a real freedom to mix, like a souvenir, lots of pieces together."
    • The dress has the added provenance of being the twin of the dress worn by Natalie Portman that year on the red carpet. She wore it beautifully and it shows you just how spectacular the dress is once on the body.
    • The dress is made out of a light weight, more open weave black net that sits over a black silk chiffon lining to make it opaque enough to wear. Onto that is a stark white embroidery that forms a beautiful pattern over the entire dress.
    • The neckline is set wide across so that it sits at the edges of the shoulders. If you are not very broad across the shoulders you should be able to wear it fully off the shoulder. The dress form shows it fully off the shoulder. The collection photo shows it at the very edge and then Natalie chose to wear it a little higher up. I love that this let you see all of the options.
    • A wide 9" ruffle follows the entire neckline and gives it the prettiest flounce all the way around you.
    • Under that the bodice skims down to the seamed waist and then the skirt is smoothly set into the waist. From there the skirt expands outwards and by the time it reaches the hem it has an amazing amount of volume. The back is cut slightly longer than the front so you get a beautiful sweep.
    • The the hem of the skirt has a ruffle that picks up on the one around the shoulders and that ruffle is a full 13" wide. Underneath the top layer is two more layers of black netting that sit between the top skirt and the inner silk chiffon lining. I love how this added touch of underskirts along with the beautiful cut of the skirt adds to the volume and detail of the skirt. It also gives you fantastic movement when you move.
    • This is an absolutely stunning dress and this particular cut of dress is one of my favourites. 
    • The dress is fully lined in a black silk chiffon with extra layers of netting through the skirt as described above. It closes with a hidden set back zipper. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.

    I Have A Question: Dreamy Spring 2018 Valentino by Pierpaolo Piccioli Black Tulle Sequin w Velvet Bows


    • This beautiful dress is from the Spring 2018 collection and it was made on a limited production.
    • The dress was made under the creative direction of Pierpaolo Piccioli.
    • Its twin was worn by Imogen Poots and also by a guest at the Couture collection that season. We have included reference photos for you to see how gorgeous this is once on the body.
    • The dress is made out of a black tulle that sits over an inner black silk chiffon base. The netting has gold metallic embroidered thread applied in long stripes over the dress. Hand Zone onto the gold thread are tiny little sequins in a rainbow of colours. This creates an incredible subtle burst of colour across the entire dress.
    • The netting on the bodice crosses over itself at both the back and front to create that pretty neckline that sits wide across to the shoulders.
    • The little cap sleeves are very full with elastic and a ruffle at their ends. You can see in the reference photos that the sleeves can be worn on or off the shoulders and it dramatically changes the look of the dress. I love this extra versatility that this gives the dress.
    • The skirt is very full and explodes outwards from the waist. All of the volume you see is created by multiple layers of netting and silk stacked over each other in layers. I have not added any extra crinolines underneath for the shots.
    • Pretty velvet ties fall from each shoulder and they are set in a bow at the top of the shoulder for the perfect dreamy finish.
    • The dress is fully lined in black silk and closes with a hidden set side zipper. It appears to have never been worn.
    • There is no size tag present so please go by the measurements listed below
    • Excellent condition

    Sleeves: approx 13" and full through the upper arm

    Exceptional Spring 2011 Prada by Miucci Prada Runway Look 27 & Ad Campaign Embroidered & Beaded White Dress

    I Have A Question: Exceptional Spring 2011 Prada by Miucci Prada Runway Look 27 & Ad Campaign Embroidered & Beaded White Dress


    • The twin of this dress was Look 27 on the Spring 2011 Prada runway.
    • It was made under the creative direction of Miuccia  Prada
    • On the runway was the first of three variations of dresses that featured extensive and whimsical embroidery over them along with the beadwork around the hem.
    • The dress was an instant hit. You saw it in editorials, on celebrities and it was used in the ad campaign that season. It is also featured in the book Prada:Catwalk. This dress is noted in particular in that book where it says "a beachy feel came through in those prints again, and in Mexican embroideries across the front of a white sundress. There were shades of Josephine Baker also here, emphasize by the model slick pin curled hair – just the lightest touch of history in case anyone might forget where they were and the deep understanding of culture that entailed. Bar the furs and jangling plastic beads at hems, the clothes in this collection were entirely made from a cotton – sensible, hearty, humble. The collection was extraordinarily bold: an immaculately executed fashion statement that couldn't have been more confident, clear or right for its time." Miuccia herself called it "minimal baroque".
    • This is a fantastically rare dress and it is exceptional and important part of Prada's history.
    • The dress is made of a crisp white cotton. Onto that is a heavy finish of embroidery to create that print that you see going across the dress is all the way around the dress.
    • It is suspended from the shoulders by straps made of the same white fabric and the dress itself is the simplest of cuts. The front has darts to create a bit of shape around the breast and then it has a touch of a barrel shape through the body. The waist and hips curve outwards and then the hem comes in slightly.
    • The back dips down for an expanse of bare skin to show.
    • A dancer is in full stride with a huge headdress and skirt are a nod to the great Josephine Baker.
    • Bright bold colours swirl across you and around to the back of the dress and the embroidery work is fantastic to see. It has a slight 3D texture as it sits slightly up and off the dress.
    • The hem of the dress is equally as fantastic and has a finish of braided silk cord and large beads that dangle and jangle all the way around the hem.
    • The dress is fully lined in a white silk and has an offset hidden zipper at the back. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. The open cut should allow it to fit a range of sizes. It will just fit more over-sized on a smaller frame.

    I Have A Question: Iconic Spring 2017 Celine by Pheobe Philo Pale Red-Pink & Ivory Knit Sweater Dress w Exaggerated Ribbing


    • This is a dress from the Spring 2017 collection. It was not a piece shown on the runway but it was shown in the Lookbook for that season and has since become another of her iconic pieces.
    • It was made under the creative direction of Pheobe Philo
    • As with many of her pieces, this dress and the longer variation of it that were released, were loved by her loyal clients. We have included some photos for reference for you so you can see how this looks on the body.
    • The knit has stretch so it is very easy-to-wear dress. This one is the slightly shorter length that has the added patchwork insets of extra colour at the sides. The longer length was a more monotone with the ivory hem. You can see the difference in the reference photos.
    • The neck line is cut wider across the top and there is a slight seam that runs underneath the neckline where the striping has been offset for a little added detail. The sleeves are long and are slit at their wrist. There is a gusset set underneath each arm with the stripes set differently there as well.
    • From there the dress skims over you to the hem. The stretch and ribbing allow it to expand and contract as needed as it follows the body. She has used seams to cleverly break up the stripes and change the direction of the ribbing. On one side there is an inset of a more densely woven knit that runs all the way to the hem for a block of extra colour.
    • The front bottom portion of the hem and around partway to the back is finished with an ivory knit.
    • The colours of the net are a pinky-red and an ivory. The way it has been knit creates a beautiful texture and colour over the entire dress.
    • The dress is unlined and slips over the head to wear with no closures. It has its original tag attached and was never worn. The easy cut and stretch of the knit should allow it to fit a range of sizes.

    I Have A Question: Divine Spring 2010 Oscar de la Renta Bridal Collection Strapless Ruffled Silk Organza, Silk Chiffon & Net Wedding Dress


    • The dress is from the Spring 2010 wedding dress collection.
    • It was made under the creative direction of Oscar de la Renta.
    • The twin of the dress was used for the ad campaign that season.
    • The gown is made out of a pale ivory that combines silk organza and silk chiffon with a silk netting. The colour is very soft and flattering. The fabric itself is very light in weight and it is only the tremendous amount of fabric in the dress that adds any weight. The lightness of all of those layers allow it to move beautifully around you once on. 
    • The bodice is strapless with a slight curve over the bust. A pretty double layer ruffle made of silk chiffon starts at the very top and then layers of ruffles continue all the way down the entire dress. Inside the bodice there is a full built-in cupped, wired and lightly boned stretch corset to hold everything in place.
    • The layers run horizontally over the bust and waist in beautiful bands of silk chiffon that all overlap each other. The edges of each band are left raw so that it adds a touch of texture. It continues down and around the waist. By the top of the hip panels of silk organza that are caught wider start to be interest first in to the bands.
    • The ruffles of the skirt start all the way up at the top of the hip and they continue down horizontally all the way to the hem. As you get lower down the skirt, the bands become wider and they start to mix a silk chiffon with a silk organza. This widening of the ruffles coincides with the widening of the lower skirt.
    • I love how the volume increases as you go down the dress to give the lower skirts their massive volume and pretty romantic sweep.
    • For the very lowest ruffles there is a white netting done in ruffles underneath circling the very bottom hem. Inside there are wide, weighted hymns with stiffening and this is all a clever way to help. Hold the shape around you when you stand and move.
    • The back and sides extend out longer than the front so that the entire dress sweeps around and behind you beautifully.
    • As beautiful as it looks in the photos this is a dress that is even better in person once moving and on an actual body.
    • I love that they have made the little straps that you hang the dress on a hanger with out of a wite ribbon with the ODLR in a beautiful soft pale blue that instantly gives you a "something blue" already built into the dress.
    • There is a full built-in corset that zips with its own zipper and has a inner waist stay that hooks to close. The dress is lined in a silk under that and there is an inner skirt supporting the volume of the skirt. The inner layer of the skirt is finished with stiffening around its hem to help hold the shape and volume. It closes with a back hidden set zipper. I see a bit of grubbiness along the very edge of the inner hem here and there. I think that is just from hitting the floor as it was hung in the past. It is very minor but mentioned for accuracy.The colour is slightly more ivory in person.

    Exceptional Fall 2005 Original Valentino Runway Look 82 Black Velvet Dress w Bows, Silk Tiers & Pink Detailing

    I Have A Question: Exceptional Fall 2005 Original Valentino Runway Look 82 Black Velvet Dress w Bows, Silk Tiers & Pink Detailing


    • The near twin of this dress walked the runway for the Fall 2005 show for Look 82 and was worn by Erin Wasson. 
    • It was made under the creative direction of the original Mr. Valentino.
    • Vogue said of the collection that "Valentino's couture touch brought exquisite workmanship to filmy lace blouses and brocade jackets as well as evening gowns that captured the seasons passion for Victorian and Edwardian effects." They went on to mention the feel of this gown specifically saying "courtly evening gowns had trains, composed of tiers of ruffles."
    • On the runway they showed the dress with the ruffles backed in a silk taffeta in what looks to be a more coral red. When the dress was produced for shops this version has a pink behind the bows and it is lined in pink for just a hint of colour. The silk ruffles cascading down dress have no lining in a different colour. I think the dress is more striking this way. It is not so busy as how it looks and was presented on the runway.
    • The dress is absolutely spectacular and showcases what made these original Valentino pieces so special under Mr. Valentino's direction.
    • The dress is strapless and curves across you at the front and is fitted around the bust. Inside there is a built-in corset that is lightly boned to keep the dress perfectly in place.
    • From there it is shaped so that comes in at the waist without any seams to break the eye. It curves back out to glide over the hips.
    • The skirt widens out to be very full by the time it reaches the hem. The back of the skirt is cut longer than the front so that you get a beautiful sweeping feel behind you.
    • Beginning just under the bust is the first ruffle. It is 7.5" wide and is set to curve down and around you before dipping lower at the back for a very pretty line. And its long longest point in the back it extends to 12". A bow in a matching silk sits at the top centre of the front and this is backed in a pink silk for a tiny touch of colour.
    • The second ruffle begins just under the waist and this one follows that same beautiful curve around you. It dips lower and longer at the back to a full 21" at its longest point. This ruffle is also topped by a pretty black and pink silk bow at the front.
    • Each of the tiers is gathered in lightly along where they are set into the dress so that they have lots of volume and movement. Under the last ruffle the entire lower skirt at the back widens out substantially and trails behind you in a swooping train. Under the skirt is a pink silk organza lining that is finished with a pink edging made of the same pink silk that the bows are backed with. When you move and your legs kick the dress outward you get a little hint of the pink and it all perfectly ties in with the pink of the bows.
    • This is a truly spectacular dress and one that you will not see come around very often if ever again. 
    • The dress has a built-in black silk corset that is lightly boned and zips with its own zipper. The dress closes with a hidden set zipper over that. Where the ruffle goes over the zipper, there is a series of hidden snaps to fully close the ruffle over the zipper so that it is all hidden. The skirt is lined in pink organza as described a book. The dress appears to have been worn very little if at all.
    • There is no size tag present so please go by the measurements listed below
    • Excellent condition

    Bust: to 16" flat across from side seam to side seam
    Inner waist: 12" flat across from side seam to side seam
    Hips: 17.5" flat across from side seam to side seam

    Exquisite Spring 2016 Alexander McQueen by Sarah Burton Runway Look 34 Black & White Lace Cut Out Dress

    I Have A Question: Exquisite Spring 2016 Alexander McQueen by Sarah Burton Runway Look 34 Black & White Lace Cut Out Dress


    • The twin of this dress walked the Spring 2016 runway for Look 34. 
    • It was made under the creative direction of Sarah Burton.
    • Vogue declared that it was the prettiest and most personal collection since she took over as the Creative Director at McQueen. Sarah declared that she wanted the collection to be "believable, touchable, soft.". Vogue's review noted that "The beautiful dresses speak for themselves. Everything about them in times when every camera phone has a zoom lens and can be examined in all their extraordinary detail, down to the finest stitches and the Couture level embroidery. 
    • This was one of the series of lace pieces in the show and I love the contrasting black-and-white lace used for the dress and how it is all set on a nude netting.
    • On the runway the front buttons were left open above and below a single closed button at the centre. A jewelled body harness was worn underneath and over the dress for added detail and it was styled over pants, showing how you are able to style this in many ways. 
    • The dress is set high around the neck with cut outs between the straps that wrap around the neck and the ones curving over each shoulder. The front lace inset is a deep white ivory and it closes with black silk covered buttons that are all functional. Black lace panels wrap around you to the back.
    • At the back you see the same combination of the white lace running down the centre of the dress and the black around the sides. Here there are deep open cut outs on either side of the white lace. There is another row of buttons there as well and these are also functional.
    • Leaving buttons opened or fully close changes the look of the dress substantially.
    • More buttons sit around the waist cut outs and you could in theory button them high and change how the dress sits. Leaving them open leaves the sides of your waist open and exposed.
    • The skirt is absolutely magnificent. It is made out of layers of black lace set in overlapping ruffles. At the front there are two layers of ruffles and then the dress is quite open under that down the full front. We included a photo of an all white version of the dress from the runway so you can clearly see what length the front will fall once on the body.
    • The skirt fall down from there on either side of you and curves around to the back. There are six layers of the ruffles and they are all set on a black lace backdrop. This gives the entire skirt a touch of transparency while at the same time the stacked ruffles play on that transparency. It is fantastically full by the bottom hem and you can see from the runway video how beautifully this moves. 
    • This is an extraordinarily rare dress from the Sarah Burton era and it is absolutely exquisite in every way 
    • The body of the dress is backed in a nude netting and the skirt is unlined. It buttons at both the front and back. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. If you wanted a more bare look you could wear boy shorts or a barer or more covered option underneath.
    • There is no size tag present so please go by the measurements listed below
    • Excellent condition

    Bust: 15-17" flat across from side seam to side seam with the buttons fully buttoned.
    Waist: 14" flat across from side seam to side seam above the cut outs, 13-14.5" flat across from side seam to side seam under the cut outs.
    Hips: to 18" flat across from side seam to side seam of the inner piece above where the tiers start. The skirt is full and open under that.
    Bodice: 11" from top of the shoulder to the highest point at the side where the cut out begins, approx 16" to the the same under the cut out and 24" to the sea of the inner piece the hips were measured at.
    Total length: 27" from top of the shoulder to the shortest point of the front hem, 62.5" to the longest point of the back hem.

    I Have A Question: Dreamy Pre-Fall 2015 Oscar de la Renta Look 36 Metallic Gold Applique & Ivory Net Dress


    • The twin of this dress was the final look on the runway for the Pre-Fall 2015 collection.
    • It was made under the creative direction of Oscar de la Renta.
    • Vogue noted in their review "Pre-Fall 2015 was the last collection he (Oscar de la Renta) had a hand in designing. The house's new creative director, Peter Copping, advised the studio a bit on how to finish it after de la Renta's death in October but this wasn't his debut. Copping sat in the front row taking it all in as a bystander." They continue the review saying, "How does one review a collection like this—one that operates not as a swan song, not as an homage, but as a coda to a great career, now definitively over? On its merits, of course. And though these clothes didn't serve to turn the fashion dial in any way, they manifested the soigné de la Renta signature in spades....It spoke loudest in the collection's clutch of cocktail frocks and gowns, particularly the champagne-toned finale gowns with allover gold or silver embellishment."
    • This would make an amazing wedding dress for the bride looking for a non-traditional choice or as an alternative dress in a more extended wedding celebration.
    • The dress is made from a fine ivory net that is covered in beautiful curving gold metallic appliques that form flowers and pretty patterns over the entire surface of the dress.
    • Each individual applique is made from a pale, muted silver-gold lame fabric sewn that is embroidered all the way around its edges. The lame has a slight vertical ribbing that combines the gold and silver thread and this adds a beautiful texture. I love how they catch the light in a subtle way from every angle. In person the dress has a more metallic and gold feel then how it photographed here.
    • It sits wide across the front and the straps are set to the edge of the shoulder. The bodice curves up and over your shoulders and then at the back it falls in a V for a bit of bare skin to show. All of the edges follow the curving pattern of the applique and I love this little romantic touch.
    • There is an inner lining inside the bodice that has a sweetheart neckline shape to it and then the netting has a touch of transparency above that. It skims over you from there, past the waist to the seam that sits at the top of the hip.
    • From there the skirt explodes outwards in two tiers. Underneath each tier is a layer of tulle and then another layer of netting under that. The second layer has a stiffened edge to help hold the shape of the skirting. Inside the skirt there is a built-in underskirt that has multiple rows of that same stiffened fabric so it holds the volume that you see in the photos. I have added no extra crinolines underneath the dress to take these photos. All of the volume that you see is all built into the dress already.
    • The dress is cut shorter at the front and then the back is cut so that it trails out behind you past the floor. The lightness of the tulle and netting allows the dress to billow out around you when you walk.
    • This is dress that feels like a fairy tale come true once it is on the body.
    • The skirt is fully lined in layers of tulle and netting as described above. The bodice has an inner layer of silk and netting. The dress closes with a hidden set back zipper. It appears to have never been worn or worn very little.

    Pretty Spring 2014 Emporio Armani Long Version of Runway Look 86 Crystal & Floral Print Pastel Dress

    I Have A Question: Pretty Spring 2014 Emporio Armani Long Version of Runway Look 86 Crystal & Floral Print Pastel Dress


    • A shorter version of this dress walked the runway for the Spring 2014 collection for Look 86.
    • It was made under the creative direction of Giorgio Armani.
    • Vogies review said in part that "The gentleness of the clothes today was enhanced by a palette of pale blues, greys, and pinks and delicate effects like streams of crystal tracing a watery trail across a chiffon top, or patterns that suggested faded watermarks, or blurry florals. It was distinctly ladylike."
    • I prefer this longer look. It feels more balanced and the pretty fabric that it is made out of is better showcased as it falls all the way to the floor.
    • The dress is made from two layers. The inner layer is a soft pastel washed floral print made from a synthetic jersey. A fine mesh layer floats over that inner layer. The mesh acts as a diffusion that further softens the underlying floral print. Tiny glittering crystals run over the entire dress. On the bodice they are set horizontally and then they are set on an angled chevron pattern over the entire skirt from top to bottom
    • Piped straps curve over each shoulder and each is completely covered with tiny little silver toned seed beads. The front neckline is cut straight across and highlighted with a black band for contrast against the pastels below. It skims over the bodice and comes in at a seam set just under the bust. 
    • The skirt falls to the floor from there gently curving outwards to the hem. It has a pretty amount of fullness that gives it lovely movement when you walk.
    • The inner floral fabric acts as the lining through the skirt and the bodice has a white crepe lining. It closes with a back set zipper. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. It was never worn and still has all its original tags attached.

    I Have A Question: Fall 2017 Valentino by Pierpaolo Piccioli Runway Look 18 Exuberant Silk Print Dress w Ruffled Details


    • The twin of this dress walked the runway for Look 18 for the Fall 2017 collection.
    • It was made under the creative direction of Pierpaolo Piccioli.
    • I love that the runway reference photos and video show you how beautifully this moves once it is on the body.
    • Vogue's review stated in part "this label, based in its idyllic Roman headquarters, has already been rebuilt on escapism. If you’re in need of a fantasy dress, Valentino, with its exquisite workmanship and aura of art-history-tinted romance, will be very near top of mind. Piccioli said he’d merged Victoriana and the Memphis Group as starting points. The Victoriana provided plenty in the line of the long, high-waisted, high-necked house signature dresses." This is clearly one of the dresses inspired by that theme.
    • The dress is made out of a white silk that has an exuberant oversized and stylized floral print. The print runs over the entire dress.
    • The neckline is high with a ruffled collar and the dress buttons completely down the front with a double row of buttons. I love that each button hole is properly finished in the proper tailoring manner. It skims over the bust, waist and hips and is cut generously through the body so it is an easy fit. There is a seam at the waist but it is cut generously.
    • Little ruffles round over each shoulder and the sleeves fall from there, ending in a double row of ruffles to tie everything together.
    • The skirt has built in flat pleats which gives it lots of volume,and you can see this in the video when it is on and moving. Even though you are completely covered the power of that beautiful fantasy print keeps the dress feeling light and easy.
    • The dress is fully lined in a white silk chiffon and closes at the front with the buttons to the waist. Hidden set buttons continue under there down the front of the skirt. It is in beautiful condition and appears to have been worn very little at all.

    I Have A Question: Beautiful Fall 2019 Christian Dior by Maria Grazia Chiuri Runway Look 36 Black Net Bead & Sequin Over Skirt


    • The twin of this skirt walked the runway for the Fall 2019 season for Look 36.
    • It was made under the creative direction of Maria Grazia Chiuri
    • Vogue's Sally Singer noted that; "Chiuri sought inspiration for this collection from Britain’s postwar Teddy Girls, those working-class, rock ’n’ roll–loving beehived vixens who hit the clubs in a mix of men’s Edwardian jackets, full skirts, blue jeans, leather, velvet, and eyeliner galore. She was struck by the similarity in silhouette and the optimistic excess that characterized Christian Dior’s designs of the same period. She was also moved by Yves Saint Laurent’s addition to the Dior pantheon of a men’s black leather jacket for women in the late 1950s. So, heritage, hipsters, and herstory."
    • This skirt is one of the ones that felt most like a heritage piece from that show while still having a modern flare.
    • The skirt is made out of a black silk net and the fabric choice is what allows it to hold its fullness.
    • Onto the tulle is an extensive pattern created from hand applied beads and sequins. A thin band at the waist cinches it in and then the skirt is full under that. It will fall to about mid-calf to the ankle depending on your height.
    • At the front the skirt is fully split and open from just under the band at the waist to the hem. It wraps over itself a touch at the split and there is a little flat bow at the waist for added detail.
    • This open split lets you can layer it over just about anything. You can take a simplest little dress or plain skirt that you already have, pop this over it, and all of a sudden you have an amazing and elaborate look.
    • The entire skirt has been appliqued with little floral sprigs that are made of hand set metal coils, tiny seed beads, sequins and MOP finished paillettes. All of the work appears to have been done by hand.
    • It is made out of two layers of the black netting and meant to have a slight transparency. It closes with snap and hook an eye at the waist and is open down the front. It looks to have never been worn or worn very little. It is a very little special piece that has a huge array of styling options.
    • There is no size tag present so please go by the listed measurements below.
    • Excellent condition
