• The twin of the dress was Look 4 on the Spring 2015 Dolce and Gabbana runway
• It was made under the creative direction of Domenico Solce and Stefano Gabbana
• This dress was only available as a special order piece in the original price was just over $15,000 euros. I highly doubt more than one or two exist.
• The embellishment on this piece was done to a Haute Couture level. It combines hand carved metal and has different kinds of embellishments that all been placed by hand in the pattern that you see over the dress on the front and waist. There are small 3D silver flowers with pearls topping them, hand-made red patent leather flowers in various sizes, 3D three layered golden metal carved flowers with red crystal rhinestones, and big hand carved metal plates, with some of rhinestones directly embedded onto the metal plates. It is truly a work of art and showcases the very best of Dolce's craftsmanship.
• The embellishment covers the front of the dress and then the detailing around the waist runs all the way around the waist to the back. I have taken multiple photos so that you can see just how elaborate and wonderful all of the embellishments are.
• The piece that wraps around the way seems to just be tacked on and then it ties at the back with a deep burgundy red velvet ribbon. I think if you wanted you could untack it and wear it as a separate belt.
• Under the embellishments is a very pretty and wearable dress. It is made out of a white silk brocade that has a pattern on pattern to the silk for the top and then the skirt is made out of a black silk and lace. 
• The bodice has no sleeves and the neck line is scooped. It skims over your bust to the embellished attached belt that circles the waist. The skirt flares out in a little A-line from there and it is mini length. I love that this was a runway piece because you can see how fantastically it sits on the body.
• The skirt is made of two layers. The top layer is a black silk and then there is a second silk layer under that. Each layer is edged in a handmade black lace. The skirt has yards of fabric in it so it is very swinging around the body as you walk and move. If you lay the skirt out flat it is actually greater than a full circle.
• The dress is fully lined in a hand set white silk through the body and the second layer under the skirt acts as the lining. It closes with a back zipper and then snaps under the waist partway down the skirt the inner layer of the skirt has its own zipper to the waist. The attached belt ties with the velvet ribbon at the back. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.
