• The twin of this dress in an ivory walked the runway for the Fall 2005 collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of Richard Tyler.
• This is the actual dress that was worn by Brie Larson to the 2024 Creative Arts Emmys so has that amazing added modern provenance.
• This colourway may have been a special order or more limited production piece. We love that the multiple photos show just how fantastic this is once on the body. We have a small clip of the dress Brie as she walked on stage on our Instagram, if you want to see it moving.
• The dress is strapless with a full boned inner corset that holds the dress in place around you. 
• It is made from an inner brilliant turquoise coloured silk organza that was then covered with a pale greenish toned ivory silk organza over top. You can see how bright the inner blue is on the label shot. That layering of the two colours is integral to the final colour of the dress.
• I love how he allowed the turquoise to peek out just to touch along the very edge of wherever there is a pleated seam. The workmanship to do this so perfectly for every single edge is almost unimaginable.
• Intricate curving flat pleats start along the top of the bodice and then these curve over to one side where they become curving seams. As they run down and over the dress, each created panel expands and gets wider, creating the beautiful curving pattern over the dress. As these reach the hip area the pleats fully open and this is what creates the volume through the skirt.
• The skirt falls to the floor from there to the floor. One side is cut so that it falls with more volume and it is also cut longer as it curves around to the back where it stands out beyond the hem. This creates that gorgeous trained feel that it has and you can see how beautiful this is in the reference photos.
• The turquoise silk inner layer axe as the lining. The inner bodice is boned and an inner waist stay that hooks to close was added when it was lent to further help hold it in place. The dress closes with a hidden set side zipper. I see some light marks and grubbiness here and there on both layers of silk along the train hem.
