And of course it could also be worn to any event.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe fabric on this dress is very unusual. A fine metallic gold thread is done in a grid cut out that creates a thatched pattern over the entire dress. This sits over a layer of a pale nude silk netting and then both of those sit over the inner layers of silk tulle and silk on the bodice. The top layer almost feels like the gold has been applied onto the underlying fabric. I have never seen a fabric like it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe skirt has multiple layers of tulle underneath the top metallic layer with an inner silk lining under them all. There is so much skirt fabric in the skirt and I did not use any extras under-skirts in the photos. All of the volume that you see is created by all of the existing layers of tulle and silk. If you wanted the skirt to be even fuller you could add something underneath and turn it into a fairy-tale cupcake dress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe bodice is meant to be fitted and the fabric is wrapped and gathered all the way around you. Inside there are padded cups that create a sweetheart neckline and light boning to hold the dress in place and give you support.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle half sleeves leave the shoulders bare and they wrap around your upper arms for a pretty feminine detail. Please refer to the runway reference folder to give you an idea of how this will look like once on. It is almost impossible to photo properly on a dress form with no arms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe waist is cinched and then the skirt poufs out below that to create all that gorgeous volume that you see.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dress is fully lined in silk and constructed as described above. It closes with a back hidden set zipper and an inner waist stay hooks to close. The front cups are padded and there is light boning in the inner bodice. Hand finishes. The colour is slightly more metallic in person. It looks to have been worn very little at all.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTagged a modern Dior F36, GB8, I40 US4.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent condition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSleeves: 11\" long and they are 11\" around the upper arm\u003cbr\u003eBust: to 16\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eWaist: to 12.5\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eHips: open\u003cbr\u003eBodice: 10\" from top of bodice to waist\u003cbr\u003eTotal length: 57\" from top of bodice to hem\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModern Sizing Equivalent: XS-SML\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItem# DD5831\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll items are thoroughly checked over before shipping.
