Dress of the Day!

For this pick it's more like dress of the year! 
I came accross this beauty while purusing the pages of InStyle's Febuary 2011 issue. 
I was awestruck at first glance and then completely overtaken at further inspection. 
More then a piece of clothing this dress is a work of art. 
The dress is made up of what looks like stenciled stiff fabric and delicletly draped to create amazing layers of swirls and waves.
We have all come to expect amazing things from the lovely ladies of Marchesa but even this went above & beyond for me. 
"There were times today at Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig's Marchesa presentation when you couldn't breathe." 
and went on to say  
"it was the dresses—literally breathtaking—all exquisitely wrought this season with orientalist-inspired details" 

I couldn't have said it better or agree more 
"Chapman and Craig have proved time and again they know how to knock them dead. "

Don't you agree?

  6. Yes, the dress is amazing, such a work of art - but it definitely works better in the ed than it would do on the runway for example! Love those first 2 pics! :)
