It was photoed for Vogue that season and is seen in the book \u003cem\u003e\"She Walks in Beauty\"\u003c\/em\u003e.  Kiera also wore one for an editorial that season\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe strapless ball gown is something that is a signature of Olivier and that combined with this striking antique feeling silk brocade fabric in its beautiful slightly metallic yellow colour make this a stand out of the collection. It was the sec\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eond to last look of the finale.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThe dress is made out of a heavy yellow silk brocade that has a remarkable and slightly metallic feel to parts of the fabric. It has the feel of an antique fabric and is absolutely incredible. It is rare now to see fabric at this level of quality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThis fabric choice is really what allowed him to manipulate and create the sculptural seams that the dress has.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThe strapless bodice is meant to be fitted and there is a full built-in inner corset that holds the dress in place around you. The fabric is shaped over the bodice and gathered down towards one side of the waist. An attached wide band of the same fabric circles around your waist. The back scoops down to leave your upper back bare and exposed. The dress has been mainly finished by hand and it is finished to an extraordinary level.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eIt skims over the hips and the skirt has elaborate draping to create the feel that you see in the photos. There is a full panel that sweep across and around the hips to fall down and over one side of the skirt and then that trails out behind you.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eYou can only imagine that for this one he personally placed in each drape by hand to get the shape that he wished it to have.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThe skirt that is set underneath the swag of silk brocade down one side is extraordinary full. I love the way the fabric has been manipulated to fall around you and then starts at the sides to become very wide and full as it sweeps around to the back. As it curves around you it becomes a striking train at the back that sweeps out behind you. Panels have been added in and under at the back to give even more fullness.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThis is a phenomenal piece from his tenure at the Nina Ricci label and is extremely rare. I would be shocked if there are more than one or two examples other than this one in existence. The amount of hand work in the dress tells me that this was definitely a custom-made piece and made-to-order. It is on par with true Haute Couture. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThe dress closes with a hidden side set zipper. It has a full structural inner corset that is cut and boned with an inner waist stay that hooks to close. The fabric that sits closest to your body is embossed with a Nina Ricci name. This inner corset runs all the way down to the top of the hip. The rest of the dress is lined in that same embossed silk as the inner bodice and there's an additional heavy lining of a woven muslin between that and the skirt. Hand finishes throughout. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003eThe dress has no size tag present.
