Resort 2012 Oscar de la Renta Look 51 Deep Blue Dot Runway Dress w Ruffled Shoulder

The twin of this dress walked the runway for the Resort 2012 show for Look 51. On the runway it was styled with a fabulous hat that gave it a very Spanish feel. I loved how it looked on the runway but it also looks as good on its own and not worn so specifically themed. This dress was mentioned in Vogue review specifically where they said "The artist's Spanish roots provided a through line to the collection's matador jackets; high-waist, narrow-cut pants; and pompom trim flamenco hats made of construction paper. If the headgear was a bit of a head-scratcher, a polka-dot evening dress was de la Renta at his best." It is fantastic and a rare larger size too.

The dress is made from a deep blue-black silk that has an abstract white dot screened over its surface. The bodice extends out and into an elaborate panel that curves up and over the shoulder on one side. The panel is made from a few layers to it to create a ruffled effect. Nestled into the ruffles are two red silk flowers. I love this little pop of colour. They pin into place so you can move them exactly where they sit best on you. The neckline is cut into a rounded curve that is very flattering. The bodice is fitted and cinches in at the waist with a full interior boned and cupped corset to help hold the shape. It curves out and over the hips and then the skirt cascades to the floor. The way the lower skirt is set into the body of the dress on a slight angle gives you a fabulous sweeping feel as you walk. The inner hem of the skirt is finished with a wide band of stiffening so that it holds the shape that you see. This also gives it a gorgeous movement when you move and walk. This is one of my own all time favourites from him. It appears to have been never worn or worn very little. Excellent condition

The dress is fully lined in silk and the bodice has a built in cupped and boned corset that closes with its own zipper. The dress closes with a back set zipper over that. Tagged a modern ODLR 14
