The photos taken then along with some photos from the actual night were included in the write up an interview with Kate in the September 2011 issue\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eRodarte had been requested to make a one-off dress for that shoot. Because Kate did not wear it as part of the wedding it was returned to the label. My client later bought it at a Rodarte sample sale. This is the actual dress that Kate wore in the photo.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eOn my Instagram I posted the video of my client's friend who tried it on the day it was purchased at the sample sale. I have also expanded slightly on its history in that post. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DYsHGUdlJAH\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eYou can see that by clicking here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eI have also added two videos taken in my studio of the dress front and the back. Note that in the video the lighting has caused a bit of a pinky tint here and there this is lighting only there is no discolouration on the dress whatsoever.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere is a lot of handwork in the dress as it would have been custom made in-house. The pricing for pieces during this era were also extraordinarily higher than what they currently can be, with the then pricing being up to and over the 20k mark. I cannot even imagine what this would have cost since it was a one off and for such a special occasion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI love how it has a decidedly vintage feel to its cut and it is unbelievably beautiful in person.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe top layer of the dress is an off-white net that has silver thread embroidery that covers its entire surface to form the prettiest of designs. Underneath that is a very lightweight silver lame fabric that is set through the body of the dress. The lower skirt has multiple layers of a silver grey coloured tulle built-in underneath the top layer to give and hold the volume that you see.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn top of the silver thread pattern that covers the entire dress are little white tube beads mixed with silver sequins. These follow the more floral parts of the design so the entire dress subtly catches the light from all angles. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe sequins and beads were all hand applied and you can clearly see that on the back side of the netting.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe neckline is set high and sweeps directly out from the bodice to wrap around and frame the neck. The lace continues in a small panel that extends out from there as it curves around the neck and then snaps back in underneath the front panel. The lace has all been hand gathered up and around you to appear like it is criss-crossing over you.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI love how the inner silver layer that sits underneath the embroidered net creates that subtle shimmer of silver underneath..\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dress glides over the waist and then curves back over the hips. It widens out slightly as it falls over the upper portion of your legs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe skirt is phenomenal. It is set low on the skirt. At the front it dips down on a soft downward curve and at the back it curves upwards into a soft rounded peak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe skirt is gathered into that seam with the edges left exposed. This creates a slight ruffle detail all the way around you.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe skirt is set into that seam and tightly gathered all the way around. The upward curve at the back allows for more fabric to have been set into the skirt so you get that gorgeous feel of a slight train behind you. This is emphasized even more by the resulting curve when you see it from the side.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderneath the skirt are layers of net and they help to hold the fullness all the way around. Everything has been kept light in weight so it doesn't feel awkward or bulky to move around in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe colour in person has a more ivory and silver undertone to it. I think it feels slightly cooler in tone in the photos and video than how it looks in person.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dress is absolutely beautiful and a true piece of fashion history. It is the only one that was ever made.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dress is fully lined in a combination of the silver lame and netting as described above. It closes with a hidden set back zipper. All of the applique work is done by hand and set onto the dress by hand. There is an amazing amount of hand work in the dress. I see a couple of tiny minor pulls and some minor threads around the edges on the underlying silver fabric. The fabric does that easily and I don't consider it a flaw. It is just mentioned for accuracy. This would be considered to be made to sample level so it has some more raw feeling inner seams which is normal to in-house samples. It has only been tried on at the sale and worn once by Kate for the shoot and is pristine. The inner seams have up to 2.5\" on either side to work with if needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere is no size tag present.
