• 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.
