• The near twin of this dress walked the runway for the Spring 2014 Mary Katrantzou Collection for Look 19.
• It was made under the creative direction of Mary Katrantzou
• For this collection Mary did a series of more evening pieces that focused on prints containing flowers, exaggerated beadwork and jewels.The printd popped and Fashion Daily Mag noted that "she delicately placed flowers upon springtime frocks that are perfect for an English garden party."
• These dresses were sold out worldwide and wait-listed. 
• The dress is made out of a fabric that has almost the feel of a very lightweight neoprene. This allows it to perfectly hold the intended shape on and off the body.
• The bodice curves up and around the scooped neck and I love how it curves down around the openings for the arm. At the back it has an almost exaggerated racer back feel that is split by the zipper. The fabric that it is made out, of along with the vertical seams that shape and fit it over the bodice, keep it soft and comfortable to wear while still fitting snug to the body.
• The waist is seamed for shape and the skirt is fitted into that with a series of wide pleats that give the skirt its incredible fullness. I also appreciate how the vertical seams on the bodice line up exactly with the pleats of the skirt at the front.
  
• Built in between the top layer of the skirt and the lining is netting to help hold the shape and fullness.
• Depending on your height this should land at the knee or just above. 
• Hidden along those seams on each side of the skirt are pockets.
• The print on this one is done in a beautiful mix of soft pastel colours depicting jewels and beads and the print covers the entire dress. I love the contrast of the two colours on the bodice and skirt along with the phenomenal pop of colour that this gives the dress.
• The dress is fully lined in the same fabric through most of the bodice and then has a silver toned silk lining through the rest of the dress. Built in netting through the skirt as described above. It closes with a back set zipper. It was never worn and still has its original tags attached.
