The house's new creative director, Peter Copping, advised the studio a bit on how to finish it after de la Renta's death in October but this wasn't his debut. Copping sat in the front row taking it all in as a bystander.\" \u003c\/em\u003eThey continue the review saying, \u003cem\u003e\"How does one review a collection like this—one that operates not as a swan song, not as an homage, but as a coda to a great career, now definitively over? On its merits, of course. And though these clothes didn't serve to turn the fashion dial in any way, they manifested the soigné de la Renta signature in spades....It spoke loudest in the collection's clutch of cocktail frocks and gowns, particularly the champagne-toned finale gowns with allover gold or silver embellishment.\" \u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis would make an amazing wedding dress for the bride looking for a non-traditional choice or as an alternative dress in a more extended wedding celebration. \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dress is made from a fine ivory net that is covered in beautiful curving gold metallic thread appliques that form flowers and pretty patterns over the entire surface of the dress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach individual applique is made from a pale, muted silver-gold lame fabric sewn that is embroidered all the way around its edges. The lame has a slight vertical ribbing that combines the gold and silver thread and this adds a beautiful texture. I love how they catch the light in a subtle way from every angle. In person the dress has a more metallic and gold feel then how it photographed here.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt sits wide across the front and the straps are set to the edge of the shoulder. The bodice curves up and over your shoulders and then at the back it falls in a V for a bit of bare skin to show. All of the edges follow the curving pattern of the applique and I love this little romantic touch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere is an inner lining inside the bodice that has a sweetheart neckline shape to it and then the netting has a touch of transparency above that. It skims over you from there, past the waist to the seam that sits at the top of the hip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom there the skirt explodes outwards in two tiers. Underneath each tier is a layer of tulle and then another layer of netting under that. The second layer has a stiffened edge to help hold the shape of the skirting. Inside the skirt there is a built-in underskirt that has multiple rows of that same stiffened fabric so it holds the volume that you see in the photos. I have added no extra crinolines underneath the dress to take these photos. All of the volume that you see is all built into the dress already.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dress is cut shorter at the front and then the back is cut so that it trails out behind you past the floor. The lightness of the tulle and netting allows the dress to billow out around you when you walk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is dress that feels like a fairy tale come true once it is on the body.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe skirt is fully lined in layers of tulle and netting as described above. The bodice has an inner layer of silk and netting. The dress closes with a hidden set back zipper. It appears to have never been worn or worn very little.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTagged a modern OLDR US2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBust: to 16.5\" flat across from side seam to side seam with room at the front for at least a B cup\u003cbr\u003eWaist: 13\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eSeam at the top of the hips: 18\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eNatural hips: open\u003cbr\u003eBodice: 19\" from top of the shoulder to the seam at the top of the hip\u003cbr\u003eTotal length: 49\" from top of the shoulder to the front hem, 80\" to the back\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModern Sizing Equivalent: XS-MED\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItem# DD5740\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll items are thoroughly checked over before shipping.
