• The twin of the dress was Look 34 for the Resort 2016 collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of Peter Copping.
• This was his third collection for the label if you count the bridal collection.
• In the Vogue review they noted that Copping stated: "I wanted to embrace color, pattern, and the house's general joie de vivre." And as promised, the clothes were bright, generous with embroideries, and blooming with flowers and ruffles.' They went on to rave about the evening pieces saying that "they captured De la Renta's flair for drama but retained a youthful, playful spirit."
• This was the second last look of the show and for me, it was one of the strongest. It is an incredibly beautiful dress and a highlight from Copping's time at the label.
• The colours in person are far more striking than how they photoed. There is a richness and depth to them that wasn't quite captured on the camera.
• The top is strapless and made out of a deep pink silk. It is caught to hug the body and has one of his signature built-in boned and wire cupped corsets inside. I love how the cups at the front have an extra panel of the pink silk set over them. This adds a bit of an old Hollywood feel to the top of the dress.
• At the back it curves beautifully around you and the waist is cinched for shape.
• The skirt skims over the hips below that and then falls to the floor in a fairly straight column of a spectacular deep green silk.
• Running down the front on each side is a trailing floral and vine pattern. The vines are made from a thick raffia cord in a deep blue that has been embroidered onto the silk. The flowers are elaborately done and made from deep blue sequins and beads in various shapes and sizes. They are set so that they set up and off of the skirt for the gorgeous 3D effect.
• There is a high slit that runs up the back of the skirt to allow you to walk comfortably and show a flash of leg.
• The dress has its original hang tag in place, in its original uncut length and was never worn. It is phenomenal.
• The dress is lined through the bodice in a matching pink silk and has a built-in corset that is boned and cupped. The skirt is lined in a matching green silk. It closes with a hidden set zipper at the back and the inner corset closes with its own zipper.  An inner waist stay hooks to close. Ribbon edge finished inner hem.
• Tagged an ODLR 8.
• Excellent condition.
