This gorgeous dress is from the Spring 2019 Oscar de la Renta collection under the creative direction of Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia. This was a piece that was produced for the shops and it is stunning and easy to wear. It is a definite show stopper and I love it.
The dress is amazing. It is made out of a light weight ivory silk crepe with extensive embroidery work done with a gold medal thread that runs across the entire front of the dress. I love that since it is in this ivory colour that this is a piece that might play double duty and also work for a bride or for an extended wedding weekend. The dress is cut in a long minimalist sheath that widens out softly as it near the hem. The neckline is scooped wide across and the dress is meant to skim over you from bust to hips before it starts to do that soft flare out on the lower skirt. The entire front of the dress from neck to hem has a stunning trailing design that mixes a gold medal thread with tiny gold sequins little gold seed beads. These are set in a curving design that represents leaves and flowers all the way down the front. It is a stunning detail that adds beautiful impact to the dress. The sleeves are the absolute star of the show. Starting at each shoulder a caped sleeve in the same fabric falls over the top of your arm and then widen out to cascade all the way to the hem and slightly past. They are open underneath so this gives them the ability to catch the slightest bit of air in billow out around and behind you when you move. It is the perfect touch of drama that softens the rest of the dress. It is stunning. Excellent condition with a minor note below.
