Fall 2015 Ralph Lauren Purple Label Runway Finale Look 43 Bronze Sequin Halter Dress w Open Back

• The near twin of this dress walked the Fall 2015 Ralph Lauren Purple Label runway for the finale Look 43.
• It was made under the creative direction of Ralph Lauren.
• The dress was also superbly worn by Sienna Miller at the Cannes amfAR Gal that season and I love that it gives you the opportunity to see it on yet another person.
• The Purple Label pieces from Ralph Lauren are the high-end demi-couture pieces the label creates. Ralph Lauren launched that division in 1994 and the label was meant to be the pinnacle line for the brand. 
• You can see how phenomenally the dress moves in the reference video.
• The dress is made from a silk chiffon base that is densely covered in muted bronze and coppered sequins. On some parts of the dress the sequins are stacked with smaller ones on top of larger ones, and on other parts the sequins have a slight pattern in them that allows them to catch the light in a different way. 
• The sequins are set over the dress tightly overlapped in the direction and which they overlap changes as they move over the surface of the dress. This is what causes the subtle pattern in addition to the patterns on the sequins themselves and the change in sizing of the sequins. They also all catch the light differently depending on which direction they have been attached to the silk.
• It is a dress that will come to life even more once it is on an actual body. It needs movement.
• Tiny silk chiffon straps extend up from the bodice to wrap and tie behind the neck. The front dips into a V with subtle darts to shape it around the chest.
• At the back it has a low scoop that leaves your entire back bare and exposed.
• It nips in at the waist by the way the side seams are curved and shaped. The skirt under that curves over your hips and the falls to the floor in a sleek column to the floor with a bit of flare around the lower hem. At the back there is extra fabric down the centre and the skirt is cut to fall just slightly longer than the front. This helps add to the movement around the lower skirt as you walk and move.
• The dress is wonderfully made to the high standards the Ralph Lauren and their Purple Label craftmanship excels at. 
• It is a stunning dress and you will definitely turn heads in it when you walk into the room.
• The dress is fully lined in a matching silk chiffon and closes with a low setback zipper. It ties behind the neck. It appears to have been worn very little at all. Hand work is present and these dresses were known to be made to a Demi Couture level. The length can be adjusted a bit by tying the straps up or down.
