I'm in love! After my Akira Isogawa wedding dress., this Dries Van Noten silk dress from the Fall 2008 collection is now my favourite dress in my wardrobe. Because of the sun/lighting, I noticed the multicoloured part of the dress appears more colourful in the pictures. In real life the colours are more subdued (as shown on the runway picture & close-up in my previous post).
I tried taking some outfit shots, but the lighting was all wrong, so you couldn't see the dress, and then I started melting due to the heat (probably a good thing, as I don't do this dress justice, it's SO beautiful in real life!), so I gave up, will try again when it's not so hot (the weather's 'cooled down' to 38 Celsius, 100 Fahrenheit)
Sorry the pictures are so big!
Oh dear! Somebody stop me! I was so happy & excited over the Djamilla dress, I bought the Davina the following day (from the same collection), it features a gorgeous pleated neckline & vibrant colours (not so vibrant in this picture), and a contrasting print hem at the bottom:
(www.style.com)That's it, no more shopping for the rest of the month...

ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comments DYDWD & kiki! - Yes, the beads are tiny wooden beads (hand-embroidered), which is what I most love about the dress, the delicate yet intricate beading :)

The detail on that dress is astounding!
ReplyDeleteBummer about the clock! :( I always just assume that places ship everywhere...we're not THAT isolated, lol!
As for my first day of school outfit - I went for a black sleeveless top from Zara, gray shorts from Bondi Markets and silver ballet flats. Turns out they're strict - closed shoes for all practical classes (not even flats!!! I own nothing else!), and for some of them also long pants. Grr.
The beading is incredible.
ReplyDeletethat's a really gorgeous dress!!!!!!!

Stacy - Thx!
ReplyDeleteBecoming Fearless - Thanks! And you have some very enviable items in your wardrobe too ;) can't believe you're not in design, I loved the feather necklace you made!
i.d. - Haha! I didn't take it too personally as the Etsy seller didn't post outside US (full stop). Your 1st day outfit sounds cute and classic ;) I s'pose I understand the closed-shoe policy (you can always bring a spare pair for when out of that class, haha)
Thanks i.d. coco, rosanna & molly gray/flavia m!
Muito obrigada caroline! Bjs!
