• The twin of this dress walked the Spring 2016 Etro runway and was shown for Look 6 on the runway.
• It was made under the creative direction of Veronica Etro
• Vogue reported that she "delivered a sumptious medley of house staples – the kaleidoscopic prints, the rich concentration of colour, and the bohemian sensibility – in a collection that also melded European folk costume, Victorian Pre-Raphaelite nostalgia, haberdashery, Arts and Crafts, and a shot of Ballets Russes".... The softness of the sleeves were noted in particular and Vogue called it "Victoriana eminently incorporable into the cool-girl wardrobe"
  
• The dress is made out of a light weight, more open weave, deep ivory lace net that like its runway counterpart is unlined. Mixed between the panels of lace are panels that have been embroidered along with floral silk chiffon panels to form a beautiful pattern over the entire dress.
• The neckline is scooped and edged with the same floral silk chiffon and the shoulders are soft. It curves out into slightly puffed sleeves that come in and have a beautiful little handmade glass French cuff button at each cuff. I love this little detail.
• At the back it plunges into an extremely low cut V that leaves the back bare and exposed. You could deliberately layer this over something to highlight that V or find something for underneath that allows your full bare skin to show.
• The bodice is cut to skim over loose and easy and the waist is cut more generously and slightly dropped.
• The horizontal panels on the bodice are embroidered with beautiful flowers.
• The skirt sits under that and begins with a gathered panel of the silk chiffon that has the prettiest delicate floral print. From there it expands outwards and by the time it reaches the hem it has quite a bit of volume. The back is cut slightly longer than the front so you get a beautiful sweep and movement when you move.
• I love that the lace and floral silk chiffon are done in horizontal bands all the way down to the hem, with each band getting progressively wider around to create the volume of the skirt.
• This is an absolutely stunning dress that is easy to fit and wear. It is also beautifully light in weight.
• The dress is unlined and closes with a hidden set side zipper. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.

• The twin of the dress was shown for Look 25 for the Spring 2019 collection
• It was made under the creative direction of Wes Gordon.
• This dress was one of the outstanding pieces from the collection and Wes was quoted as saying backstage "Happy people make happy clothes," in reference to what he learned working side-by-side with Carolina before his runway debut in this collection. He had shown a collection prior to this for Resort but this was his first official runway show. It was a smashing success.
• In Vogue's review they specifically noted that a "softly constructed long belted dress in two weightless layers of floral prints" was "especially graceful".
• The dress is made from a beautiful silk chiffon that has that glorious floral print over it and then a second for the under layer of the skirt. I especially love the mix of the two different prints. It is very well done.
• The neck line is high and the front is gathered in vertical gathers from there to the top of the 3" band around the waist. The same gathering happens at the back and it gives a very soft and pretty effect over the body.
• The waist is highlighted with gathers at the front. A wide attached belt in the same fabric, but in a heavier weighted silk, comes out from underneath the gathers and wraps around the back and hooks into place to add definition around the waist.
• The skirt flows to the floor from there and it is an absolutely lovely thing to see. It is made out of two layers of the silk chiffon.
• There is a panel that is attached around the waist so that it falls down the front and then a second panel falls down the back. This leaves the sides completely open from the waist to hem and gives the skirt its incredible movement as you can see in the reference photos and video.
• The skirt underneath those panels has a larger yellow based floral print. The two different colours magically compliment and work together perfectly.
• I love that when you move in certain ways you get that unexpected flash of colour underneath. It changes the entire dress and adds to its beauty.
• This was an outstanding debut by Wes and it is always nice from a fashion history point of view to have pieces from these early collections of a designer at a new label.
• The dress is fully lined in a off-white silk chiffon and closes with a hidden set back zip. The attached belt at the waist closes with hooks and a snap. It appears to have been worn very little at all.

• The near twin of this dress walked the Spring 2018 runway for Look 64.
• It was made under the Creative Direction of Pierpaolo Piccioli 
• Vogue declared the collection "a fresh starting point for spring" utilizing laird neck lines and floral prints" stating that it "enabled the impulses of girls who just want to dress up and go out dancing".
• There are two pieces to the look. A beautiful little velvet halter that goes underneath the dress and then the dress itself which is made out of a combination of different types of lace, silk chiffon, and velvet detailing.
• The halter is a pale blue in that perfect antique blue feel. It wraps and buttons behind the neck and then it sits just under the bust at the front with a wide strap that hooks at the back. This gives you the perfect amount of coverage under the low scoop of the dress but still leaves the upper back bare and exposed.
• The dress slips over that and it is absolutely beautiful with its mix of fabrics.
• The front is made out of a pale pink lace with a touch of the same blue velvet worked underneath the lace at the front. It scoops low at the front to a slightly dropped waist that widens out to be more generous in feel.
• The skirt falls to the floor from there and is incredibly full. A silk panel runs down the front and it has a little fused blue velvet flowers on it. Each side is finished with a panel of yellow lace with a large expanse of a pale blue lace in between.
• The blue lace runs all the way up the sides and is the perfect slightly paler shade to coordinate with the velvets.
• At the back there is a full wide panel that drapes down behind you with an almost caped feel. It is attached at the top of the shoulder and falls longer than the hem at the back. This gives you incredible movement as you move and adds to the prettiest and floating feel of the dress.
• Underneath of that panel the back is scooped quite low and I have taken a photo where I have held the panel out so you can see. 
• The fabric combination and beautiful soft pastels are just absolutely stunning and it is better in person. I love it.
• The dress is fully lined in a pale neutral silk and closes with a hidden set back zipper. The lower strap of the halter has some elastic so I put the comfortable range of it below. It also has two choices where it hooks at the back so I have put the minimum size to the maximum size. The dress is in its original length and appears to to have been worn very little if at all.
