John celebrated that by creating pieces based on some of his signature looks through the past decade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is one of my favourite dresses from the Spring 2008 collection and I love that the reference photos let you see how fantastic it is on the body.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePieces were wait-listed worldwide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dress is made out of a feather light silk chiffon in a leopard print that is backed in a pale top silk chiffon. It feels almost weightless once on the body and it is all cut on the bias.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe bodice is shaped with pieces of the leopard print set on angles that extend up and over the shoulders. They turn into thin straps that run down the side of the back and this leaves your back bare and exposed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe waist is shaped by having all of the panels gather in towards that spot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom there it curves over the hips and the panels have been shaped to exaggerate the feel of the hip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt the back the silk is all gathered down the centre to emphasize the hourglass shape of the body.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe front skirt wraps over itself and narrows down and curves around the hem.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetween this nod to the sarong and his signature bias cut, the dress skims and drapes over you so that is shows every curve but is not overly fitted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe wrapping at the front also allows your leg to show as you move and you can see this in the reference photos.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohn's pieces only truly come to life when worn and as good as this looks on the dress form, it is better once on the body. It is an incredible example of his work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dress is fully lined in a pale taupe silk and closes at the side with a hidden set zipper. The inner bodice is lightly boned. The bias cut gives it some give in the measurements and I've given the comfortable range when the dress is laying flat below. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTagged a Dior FR38, GB8, IT40, US4.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent condition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBust: 14-18\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eWaist: to 12\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eHips: to 17\" flat across from side seam to side seam\u003cbr\u003eBodice: 16.5\" from the top of the shoulder to waist\u003cbr\u003eTotal length: 46\" from top of the bodice to longest point of the hem\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModern Sizing Equivalent: XS-SML\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItem# DD5766\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAll items are thoroughly checked over before shipping.
