Spring 2012 Ralph Lauren Purple Label Runway Look 53 Backless Ivory Jersey Dress w Pearl Belt

• The twin of this dress walked the Spring 2012 Ralph Lauren Purple Label runway for Look 53.
• It was made under the creative direction of Ralph Lauren.
• The dress was also photoed for Vogue on Daria Werbowy and I love that it gives you the opportunity to see it on yet another person.
• The Purple Label from Ralph Lauren are the high-end demi-couture pieces the label creates. Ralph Lauren launched it in 1994 and the label was meant to be the pinnacle line for the brand. 
• You can see how phenomenally the dress moves in the reference video.
• The dress does have the option to hook in place at the back like how it is shown on the runway reference photos. You can also wear it more open to the sides as it is shot on the dress form. We decided to do this so you could see both ways. The reference photos also show you how the panels go around the arms.
• The dress is made out of a white jersey that is very fluid and has lots of movement to it.
• It comes with its original belt. The belt is made out of glass pearls and beads and has a bit of weight to it. It is finished with tassels at each end and it is gorgeous.
• The front is suspended from the strip of fabric that curves up and over the shoulders and then curves down to the back. There is a little piece of matching fabric that gives you the option to hook it at the back as shown on the runway photos or it can be left open to give you a completely open back.
• At the front it drapes beautifully down to the waist and puffs out above the seam. Attached panels at the sides drape around the arm or they can be worn under the arm as well.
• From there, the skirt flows to the ground in a beautiful drape of the jersey. It is in its original uncut length and there are many yards of fabric in the skirt. The top layer sits over an inner white lingerie stretch silk jersey layer that is light enough to still retain the gorgeous movement the piece has.
• The dress is backed with a silk jersey through the bodice. Built into the dress and attached around the waist is an inner bottom piece made of a nude lingerie stretch jersey. It snaps into place and holds the dress perfectly around you and adds an extra layer of opacity. It shows no signs of wear. The dress is in its original uncut length. I see a tiny, extremely minor smudge here and there around the hem. Very minor but mentioned for accuracy.
• The dress is tagged a modern Ralph Lauren 4
