The line was initially sold in the United States exclusively through Bergdorf Goodman stores and was eventually available at other retailers as well. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe line was still high-end and the clothing very well made. He launched this line to expand his customer base and it was made to appeal specifically to his non-couture clients. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe dress is made out of a blue dotted red silk organza that is set in overlapping ruffled layers that run from the top of the dress to the hem. \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStraps made of the same silk curve up and over each shoulder and then the first ruffle of silk organza starts from the very top edge of the neckline. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe ruffles fall down the entire length of the dress and each one gets wider than the one above it. There are eight ruffles in total and it is just spectacular. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe movement that the ruffles create as you move is fantastic. The choice of silk organza keeps it very light in weight so the slightest bit of air or your movement allows them to move softly around you.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe dress underneath is made from the same dotted fabric and it also follows that widening line of the dress all the way to the hem. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe skirt widens out as it near the floor making the cut incredibly easy to fit and still be flattering. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere is a little silk flower attached at the base of one strap that gives the dress a little extra pop of colour for the perfect finishing touch. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe dress is fully lined in a red silk and closes with a back set zipper. Over the zipper area each ruffled layer has tiny snaps to close them over the zipper to hide it\u003cstrong\u003e. \u003c\/strong\u003eI see one tiny hole near the hem of one ruffle near the bottom. It otherwise appears to have been worn very little if at all.
