If you have been looking for that insane, over the top statement dress - this just might be it. It's a combination of elements that in no way should work but yet it does. The skirt is of course, the most outrageous element - its a giant pouf that is cut up under the hem in a cinched in cascade of ruffles. All cleverly constructed inside so the fabric actually does pouf rather then just lie flat. The waist is nipped in through seaming and hand placed draping and the bodice left soft and full. Seaming cascaded over on shoulder and down the side and the sleeves are set in wide and full. The narrow into tightly zipped cuffs - the perfect balance to that crazy skirt. A mile long attached silk tie can be worn draped down the back or tied in an extravagant bow at the front. The colors are still bright and crisp and it is in excellent, seems to be unworn, condition!
