About the Dress

Avant-garde lace - like spun sugar or a 'drunk' spider web. Ex the usual floral pattern for lace gone wild! Makes for a modern twist on the classic cheongsam or 'qipao'. Belt not included but 'abstract' top layer is just as seen with slip dress beneath. And it is indeed abstract - in the best sense. Lace like a Jackson Pollock drip painting.

There is a close-up shot of belt loop where you can choose your own. The measurement, laid flat, from belt loop to loop is 13.5 inches. Purchased at the Lhuillier flagship salon in Beverly Hills. Sample worn on runway and/or photo shoot. Salon estimated street size 6. I had the pure silk slip dress dry-cleaned but not the lace overlay. Quite delicately constructed lace so I leave that to the buyer's discretion/preference. Tried to capture some bottom area where it was likely dragged backstage on floor. No rips nor tears but a very close examination will reveal some grey-ish light dinginess. This back bottom is longer, allowing for a train. From shoulder to back hem, the complete measurement is 74 inches. The inside of the Mandarin collar is slightly yellowed - perhaps from the model's make-up. Again though, a reputable cleaner can easily address well. Other than the Lhuillier use by their model, it remains unworn.

I did not purchase for a wedding but was simply drawn to a lace so unique. Figured I might dye it one day. But now, I'd rather leave it untouched and offer to another to display this lacey art piece; it is truly meant to be worn - if only once. Regretting not being able to better demonstrate the detail that might be lost on this computer pictorial. The crystal buttons down both sleeves and on the traditional asymmetrical collar are all in tact, allowing for some sparkling visual contrast to this intricate fabric. In person, this lace has an arresting depth, the most stunning all-over detail.
