This is a special edition dress from 2012 and that same year its twin was worn by both Katy Perry and Sonam Kapoor. I love that this gives you the chance to see just how gorgeous this dress is once on and that it is a dress with incredible modern provenance given these two moments. Dolce and Gabbana launched in 1985 by founders Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana who still run the label to this day. After a shaky start in the first few years, by the 1990s, they had started to open their own boutiques and had become a force in fashion. In 1993 Madonna chose them for her 1993 Girlie Show tour and they gained world wide recognition. They are known for their dramatic designs that are heavily inspired by their Sicilian heritage. 

The dress is made out of a deep red velvet and that colour, combined with this fabric, gives it an extra depth and richness that it would not have in any other fabric choice. The top portion of the dress is treated in an almost corseted fashion. It is meant to be very fitted to the body. The bodice is peaked at the front and the velvet is placed over it to drape and wrap around the body in the most flattering way possible. Inside it is boned and shaped so that everything stays in place. The waist is cinched in and the illusion of a tiny waist is made even more so by the elaborate skirt that billows out all around you. The skirt is a work of art in itself. Layers and layers of net and tulle are built-in underneath that top velvet layer so that the volume you see in these photos is actually the volume that the dress has. You see that in the photos of Katie and Sonam as well. It is an extraordinary dress. Excellent condition with a minor note below.

Fully lined in red silk with boning and a cupped inner corset. Added layers under the skirt as described above. It closes with a back zipper and then the skirt snaps to close over that starting under the waist. The zipper pull was not present on the dress and we replaced it with twisted black rubber finished wire so you're able to zip the dress open and closed. Please see the photo after the shot of the label. Other than that one small detail, it appears to have been worn very little if at all. Tagged a vintage DG 36

Great suit, but size up
Size: Large, Color: Black, Size: Large, Color: Black
This set comes with a jacket, pants, extra buttons, and a bow tie with an easy clip to remove it. The suit itself is really nice and I love the pattern, however, I thought I purchased a XXL, but seemed to have ordered a L instead. Not quite sure how that happened, but suffice to say, he could not fit the suit. He is normally an L in pants, so based on the fit, we would have needed to size up anyways. He couldn't fit his leg in the pants or his arm in the jacket. I automatically size up on items like this because you can take clothes in, but can't take them out if there is not enough cloth. The suit pants are not lined, but you can see that they did leave room for the legs to be let out. Perhaps if we have the pants let out, he would be able to wear the pants. The jacket is fully lined and it comes with two inside pockets, one can be buttoned. I cannot tell if the jacket has room for alterations, but I might have him fitted for it just to see. It comes with a slit on the back of the jacket, so it has that going for it from a quality standpoint. It does come folded so you have iron or dry clean it before wearing. The quality is good for the most part. There are some threads coming out of the bow tie, but that's all I seen that is less the good. I'm giving it four star based solo on it's look and feel. Of course, I can't comment on the fit. For around $80, I definitely think it's worth checking out for a school semi-formal or fancy dinner out. It might be a little lightweight for a higher end event. Did I say I love the pattern?

Stylish look and great value for special occasions
Size: X-Large, Color: Blue, Size: X-Large, Color: Blue
This suit looks really good in person. The pattern adds a nice touch that makes it stand out without looking too flashy. It is a great option for events like weddings, parties, or prom where you want something a bit different from a basic suit. The fit is slim and modern, giving a clean and sharp look when worn. It feels comfortable enough for a few hours, and the overall shape looks more tailored than expected for the price. The jacket sits well, and the pants match nicely to complete the set. The material is lightweight and decent for occasional use. It does not feel like a premium suit, but it looks good and photographs well, which is what matters for events. The bow tie included is a nice extra and helps complete the outfit without needing to buy more pieces. It may need a quick steam or ironing out of the package to look its best. Also, checking the size chart is important to get the right fit. For the price, this is a very good value. You get a full outfit that looks stylish and put together without spending too much. Great option if you need something affordable for special occasions.
