• The twin of this dress walked the runway as Look 58 for the Fall 2012 show.
• It was made under the creative direction of Oscar de la Renta 
• The dress was part of the closing looks of the show and I love that the runway video and photo show you how wonderful it is once on an actual body.
• Vogue noted the use of the baby pinks and powder blues, and the inspiration board shared prints of jewels blown up to "eye popping proportions". Which, of course led to the scattering of jewels across the bodice of this lovely dress.
• The dress is made out of the perfect princess pink silk, and is perfectly executed despite its simple and minimalist silhouette.
• It is reckless across the front and inside there is one of his signature full built-in bone and cup in our bosses that has its own closure and holds the dress perfectly in place.
• On the exterior, the bodice is shaped around you in handset gathered panels that sweep all the way around and tuck under a panel that folds up and over the top of the bodice from which the rest of the dress falls.
• I love the wrap illusion that this gives the dress down from there. Skimming over the waist and curving slightly back out over the hips because of the bias cut of the silk.
• The skirt sweeps down to the floor and flares out slightly around you at the hem. At the back there's extra fabric added so you got a pretty subtle sweep behind you.
• On the bodice is a scattering of hand, set muted gold beads, mixed with large rhinestones in a variety of sizes. Prongs, set rhinestones and little beads are added to the mix as well. This perfectly ties in his theme of jewels and adds the perfect amount of glamour to the dress.
• It's a very pretty example of his work during this time. Period.
• The dress is fully lined in a matching pink silk. The interior corset closes with its own back zipper and then a second hidden set zipper closes the dress over that. The inner corset is fully boned and cupped. An attached inner waist stay hooks to close. There is some slight grubbiness around the hem here and there which is minor but mentioned for accuracy. Note that the outer waist has several inches more than the inner corset waist so you could get extra room if needed.

• The twin of this dress walked the runway for the Spring 1990 collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of Yves Saint Laurent.
• I love that it was photo with Yves himself. The model is carrying flowers and this may have been the piece used to close the show as the wedding dress.
• The fabric that the dress is made out of is a stunning pale nude ballet slipper pink that has a beautiful weight to it. This and the cut is what helps hold the draping perfectly in place.
• It has a very unusual design that is completely hidden at first glance. There is an inner bodice that one side of the outer dress hooks onto around the inner waist and then the other side drapes over that and hooks along the outer waist. This gives you coverage over the bust on the inside but still allows the bodice to feel loosely draped around you. It is what allows the plunge to be so low at the front while having it be completely secure while you are fully covered underneath.
• The sleeves are incredible. They are extremely full and each is lined with a pale pink silk chiffon to help hold the added volume of them. I love the way they drop over the cuff at the wrist to form that gorgeous puff at their ends.
• The inner waist closure holds the dress in place around you and then the silk drapes and skims past the waist and hips. The skirt flares out slightly as it nears the hem. The silk drapes over the waist for a bit of definition in shape even though there is no actual seam there. It is all masterful tailoring.
• The inner bodice zips at the front and then the dress hooks to close around it. The rest of the dress is unlined. I see one tiny faint mark along the edge of a fold of the top, some very minor faint marks at the hem and a tiny scuff in the fabric at the back hem. All very minor but mentioned for accuracy. Hand finishes. The colour is slightly more pastel soft pink than how it shot.
• The fit of the dress as it is currently is based almost completely on the measurements of the inner bodice piece but the outer dress is more generous. You could easily alter/add to the inner bodice to get more room if needed.

Sleeves: 24.5"
Inner bust: 16" flat across from side seam to side seam. The outer bust measurement is very full and up to 22" across so if you needed more room you could easily add to the inner bodice to get more room.

Hips: to 21" flat across from side seam to side seam
Total length: 59.5" from top of shoulder to hem

• This is the ready-to-wear version of the dres referenced here from the Spring 1999 Couture collection. 
• It was made under the creative direction of Thierry Mugler
  
• The dress is cut with Mugler's masterful eye and attention to detail.
• The openings for the arms are cut inwards towards the neck and the neck line is set on a beautiful curve. All the seaming on the dress is set either vertically or on a curving angle so that it enhances and highlights the curves of the body. 
• The bust and waist are created by the shaping of those beautifully curving vertical seams. I took a shot of the seams that curve over the hips as it is is really a part of what shapes the dress. Once on this emphasizes the curves of the body.
• It skims over the hips and then falls to the floor where the skirt widens out as it near the hem. The back hem of the skirt is cut on a slight downward curve so that it falls a little bit longer and gives a fantastic sweep at the back of the dress. 
  
• The upper portion of the neck line is detailed with a double layered panel of nude mesh. Onto this is a fantastic design that combines iridescent clear tube beads with iridescent mother-of-pearl finished plastic pieces that vary in size. These are all set to curve outward slightly and are in different sizes. It is a really pretty effect.
  
• It is an extraordinary dress that is rare and beautiful.
• The dress is fully lined in the same fabric and closes with a hidden set back zipper. I see one tiny very faint mark on the fabric near the seam of the neck line. Please see the photo after the label shot. There is very minor grubbiness and a tiny bit of fading around the hem. I see a stitch at the very base of the mesh at the front where there may have been one more additional plastic piece. All of these are very minor but mentioned for accuracy. The colour is a bit more of a baby pink than how it photoed. It is in its original uncut length.
