• Due to new customs regulations this dress can only ship to a Canadian address 
• The twin of this dress walked the runway for the Spring 2012 show.
• It was made under the creative direction of Oscar de la Renta 
• On the runway it was styled with a white wrap that sat over the bust and arms and a heavily embellished belt. Once you strip those back and see the dress on its own you realize just how light and pretty the dress is.
  
• Oscar showed the collection in his new showroom on 42nd street. The space had yet to be fully renovated and this gave the atmosphere a raw edginess and the styling reflected that. Vogue called the evening dresses 'entrance making' and the show felt fresh and new from his work of the past few seasons proceeding this one.
  
• The dress is made from a pale nude pink silk base covered in netting. Onto this is an extensive floral applique made out of of silver sequins, silver metallic thread and silver lame insets
  
• The dress is suspended by two little piped silk straps that curve up and over your shoulders. They attached into the peaked fronts of the bodice. Front panels across over each other and then the back has a pretty dip that leaves the upper back bare and exposed.
• It cinches in at the waist and then curves out and over the hips.
• The skirt cascades to the floor from there and is cut slightly longer at the back so that you get a beautiful sweeping feel as you walk away. Onto the skirt is an amazing application of feathers attached onto the top layer of netting. These come up at the front and then widen out to circle all the way around the bottom hem. They curve back upwards at the back. Every feather is stacked and layered over the one underneath. The bottom of the skirt is very full so the combination of the lightness of the silk and netting and the amazing application of feathers create this phenomenal movement when you move.
  
• The dress is fully lined in a pale pink silk and there is light boning at the sides of the bodice. It closes with a hidden set back zipper. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.

• 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.

• The twin of this dress in an ivory walked the runway for the Spring 2008 Oscar de la Renta Bridal collection. 
• It was made under the creative direction of Oscar de la Renta
• I had an ivory one in the shop before and know that the original price for the dress at retail was just under $20,000 USD even back in 2008 (the equivalent of just under 30k now). 
  
• Oscar launched his first bridal collection in October of 2002 and his wedding pieces have been worn by some of the most famous women in the world. He once said 'In the same manner that she fell in love with that man, I hope she's going to fall in love with that dress.' 
• The dress is strapless and cut to hug your curves from the bust to below the hips.
• From there is flows into a stunning skirt that sweeps around you and trains outwards at the back.
• Inside is an intricately constructed corset with boning and built in cups to shape and hold you and the dress in place.
• The fabric on this one is just extraordinary. The base is an black silk. Onto this is a complex design that is made up of stiffened black silk ribbon that has been folded into flower like designs that run over the entirety of the dress. These are all placed so that they sit slightly up and off of the fabric so that it has this wonderful 3D feel to it. Interspersed around these are black thread embroidery. The black embroidered parts are a combination of knotting, to add to the dimension of the design, and flat embroidery work. Various sized black beads are then worked into this pattern to add yet another element to the design. The end result is that every inch is covered with this amazing hand work.
• The dress has a true old world Haute Couture feel to it and it is rare to see a piece done so elaborately over every bit of the fabric. No matter how good it looks in the photos it is even better in person and on the body.
• The dress is fully lined in a black silk. The bottom hem of the skirt is finished with an interior wide band of stiffened netting and the dress closes with a hidden set back zipper. It has a built in interior corset bodice that is cupped and boned to be shaped all the way around you. There are pads that just inside the bust and if you need extra room they could easily be removed as they are just tacked in place.The interior corset closes with its own zipper. Finished to couture standards and tons of work by hand.

• 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.

• The twin of this dress walked the runway for the Spring 2012 show.
• It was made under the creative direction of Oscar. de la renta 
• On the runway it was styled with a very heavy and extremely dramatic beaded necklace that covered most of the front of the dress but once you take that off and see the dress on its own you realize just how light and pretty the dress is.
• Oscar showed the collection in his new showroom on 42nd street. The space had yet to be fully renovated and this gave the atmosphere a raw edginess and the styling reflected that. Vogue called the evening dresses 'entrance making' and the show felt fresh and new from his work of the past few seasons proceeding this one.
• This is the second time I've had this dress in the shop and I love it even more this time.
• The dress is made from multiple layers of a lightweight slightly iridescent chiffon in the most stunning bright coral colour.
• The bodice is gathered in an elaborate ruching of silk that meets off to the one side. The neckline is cut into a rounded curve that is very flattering. On one side a panel of the chiffon extends out from the bodice and becomes a strap that curves up and over one shoulder for a pretty and feminine detail.
• The bodice is fitted and cinches in at the waist with a full interior boned and cupped corset to help hold the shape.
• The skirt cascades to the floor and is cut slightly longer at the back so that you get sweeping feel as you walk away. The skirt is made up of two layers of the almost weightless chiffon on top and this lets the skirt float over and around the body to give it the feel of airiness and lightness. The lightness of the silk gives it a gorgeous movement when you move and walk.
• The fabric wraps around you and falls open on that one side where the bod is gathered to the side. Another two layers of a slightly darker silk is set under the two top chiffon layers. The silk layers also are wrapped over each other so when you walk or sit you see a bit of leg where all the layers meet. The use of all those layers gives it the lightness it needs to pick up the air as you move so that it will float and billow around you as you move.
