Zandra showed the collection during London Fashion Week at the Dickins \u0026amp; Jones department store on Oxford Street that season. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dress combines black and gold lace for the bodice with a multiple layered silk organza and net skirt that as hand painted gold detailing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe neckline is squared off and I love how the edges of the lace follow the pattern across the neck and back to soften the line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe shoulders are soft and the sleeves run down the arm to just past the elbow. They are unlined so you get a glimpse of your skin through the lace.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe top curves down to the waist and then flares out over the top of the hips. If you wanted to add even more shape you could add a belt to cinch it in as much as needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe skirt comes out from under the lace of the top and widens out beautifully as it nears the hem.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe skirt is constructed in layers. The very top layer is a silk organza and then under that are two layers of tulle. The very inner lining is a black silky rayon. These built in layers are what gives it the fullness that you see. I did not add any extra underskirts for these shots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe top layer of silk is completely covered with one of Zandra's signature designs. The gold runs over the entire surface of the skirt in stunning hand painted sun patterns. It is gorgeous.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dress is fully lined in a black silky rayon and closes with a back hidden set zipper. The skirt is made up of multiple layers as described above. It appears to have never been worn or worn very little.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere is no size tag present.
