Magical Spring 2015 Ralph Lauren Purple Label Runway Look 48 Yellow Net Dress

  • The twin of this dress was Look 48 on the Spring 2015 runway.
  • Made under the creative direction of Ralph Lauren
  • Ariana Grande wore a custom version of this dress where the train was extended and extra tulle was added around the shoulders and arms. It would be very easy to match the netting and re-create the feel of the dress around the shoulders if you liked how hers was worn.
  • 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.
  • The dress is made from multiple layers of a netted yellow tulle over an inner silk lining. The colour is a beautiful soft yellow.
  • The front neckline is detailed with panels in the same tool that cross over themselves at the front and then again at the back. You can wear these higher up as a photo them or more down and off the shoulder you see on the runway.
  • Under that the bodice has been gathered down to the side, and this creates a beautiful added texture in detail onto the dress. I love how it opens up just around the top of the hip, and this is what creates the volume in the skirt that you see.
  • The skirt is magnificent. It has multiple layers of the tulle and silk organza with individual panels attached all the way around the skirt. The panels are set vertically and over the innermost layer of matching yellow silk that serve serves as the lining. The layers give you the incredible volume that you see and when this is on and moving it is even better. You can see that in the runway video.
  • There is a full built-in corset that is cupped and lightly boned. This closes with its own zipper and has an attached waist stay that hooks to close. The dress is fully lined in a matching coloured silk and closes at the side with a hidden set zipper over that. The skirts are made of multiple layers of tulle with an inner silk panel.
  • Tagged a modern RL 2
  • It appears to have been worn very little if at all.
  • Excellent condition.
