Runway Party Cocktail Dress Brocade w Crystals CREATURES OF THE WIND size 4

STRAIGHT FROM THE RUNWAY: When you want to look spectacular. Creatures of the Wind designers Shane Gabier and Christopher Peters showed this party dress at NY Fashion Week 2016. Now it can be yours and *you* can Go Glam in strappy silver and gold. High-cut crystal breastplates lead into spaghetti straps above and a flowing midi skirt below. The fabric's amber-gold leaves and brown background with deep purple undertones are sheer loveliness and literally sheer too, which adds a subtle ethereal feel (with a lining of course). A concealed zip closure in back creates a snug-fitting bodice while the skirt flows (w/pockets!). OMG, look at that model wearing this dress with TALL RED BOOTS! SWOON. You can tell the quality of any garment by its seams, and these seams are gorgeous. There surely was a way to stitch these edges to prevent fraying. But the use of a binding seam looks almost ornamental and is a sign of the fastidious detailing that Gabier and Peters bring to their designs. And check out the beadwork--tiny silver sequins carefully stitched, the craftsmanship of over-achievers. CONDITION: LIKE-NEW. Perfect. Worn once by me and carefully stored away till now. Size 4 Chest: 16.5" pit to pit—measured flat, not incl the extra fabric created by the clever darts that are worked into the front seams of the dress panels. Waist: 15.5" across 👉 Don’t know this brand name? Style-icon Michelle Obama does. Shame on Poshmark for not including it in their list of designers.
