• Given the closeness in design and many shared elements to the Fall 2007 Cavalli that we had in the shop about a year ago, we believe that this dress is from that same collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of Roberto Cavalli.
• The dress is made from a pale ballet pink coloured silk chiffon and it is detailed with muted bronze-gold crystal rhinestones and metal chains.
• For parts of the design the silk has been softly gathered and softly pleated in a very Grecian type feel and this treatment lets the dress have its beautiful movement when you walk.
• Tiny chiffon straps curved over the shoulders and the bodice crosses over itself in a V at the front. At the back it drops into a low wide V to leave an open expanse of bare skin.
• The sides are detailed with strips of round and rectangular rhinestones mixed with strands of metal block chains. These are placed along a sloping curve at the top of each hip for a pretty added detail. I love that they kept the colour for this added element a more muted copper gold so it softly adds to the softness of the pink rather than sharply contrasts it. 
• The skirt is remarkable. It is in its original supermodel uncut length and is absolutely beautiful. A wide panel of soft pleats open up from the centre of the waist at the front. These are set in where the bodice crosses over itself and adds to the detailed feel of the bodice. This panel cascades down to the floor and gives the skirt substantial volume at the front.
• The back of the skirt has extra fabric built in all the way around and is cut to fall longer than the front. When you are standing still you get a long column of silk but then when you move the skirt billows out around you. The fabric is light enough that when you walk it creates this incredible floating sensation.
• I love the sweep that is created by having the back fall longer behind you. It is an incredibly beautiful dress and no matter how good it looks in the photos the sensation and tactile feeling of the fabric and pleat work when you have it on is just phenomenal.
• Fully lined in a matching colour silk. There is a full built-in bodysuit that hooks to close beneath you so that everything is held perfectly in place once the dress is on.  It closes with a hidden set side zipper. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.
