Pre-Fall 2011 Oscar de la Renta Runway Look 44 Strapless Black Silk Chiffon & Blue Embellished Jumpsuit
- The twin of this dress walked the runway as Look 44 for the Pre-Fall 2011 ODLR show.
- It was made under the creative direction of Oscar de la Renta.
- Vogue said of the collection that "After more than 40 years in business, de la Renta has earned the privilege to send multiple messages down the catwalk and he definitely has a diverse fan base, but for the most part, the 59 looks he showed today played best to the polished uptown types who love him best"
- I love that we have runway reference photos and video to show you how fantastically the jumpsuit moves.
- On the runway, it was paired with a fur trimmed shrug and an extra wide ribbon was wrapped around the waist. I think it is one of those pieces that gives you the opportunity to style it multiple ways.
- The jumpsuit is made from a black silk chiffon that has a metallic blue design that has been heavily applied to the silk. Onto that are beads and sequins.
- The additional embellishments to create the pattern over the silk are gorgeous and it is even better in person then how it photoed.
- At first glance you appear to be wearing a dress but it is actually jumpsuit legs. They are just very full and wide. So when you stand still you look like you are wearing a strapless dress but when you move, you have the ease of pants.
- The bodice is strapless and meant to be more fitted to the body. Inside there is a full built-in corset that is cupped and boned for support and to hold the jumpsuit in place around you.
- The waist nips in and is defined by a seam and then the jumpsuit curves out and over the hips. The pant legs widen out as they near their hem and each is a full 50" around the bottom hem.
- I love the high glam of the fabric and strapless bodice mixed with ease of the wide legs.
- The jumpsuit is fully lined in a black chiffon. The inner corset closes with its own zipper and then a hidden set zipper is set over that. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.
- There is no size tag present. Please go by the measurements listed below.
