"Gorgeous, heavy and so chic in style. The first layer of this dress is a simple sleeveless shift with a 21" rear zipper. The top piece (the one with the asymmetrical tiers and flutters and folds) slips on over the shift and fastens with a hook and eye at the throat. Each floaty layer of silk crepe is a tad sheer, but together they add up to full coverage. In purple."

I cannot think of a dress more modernly regal than a deep violet silk ruffle dress. Proenza Schouler's frock is comfortable and elegant - great for a fall cocktail party.

I always sucked at making origami. Those paper cranes never really looked like cranes at all when I made them. Just because I am not a paper folding queen doesn't mean I won't wear an origami inspired dress from Proenza Schouler. Sure it's pretty shapeless but who cares?! It's brilliant and gorgeous.
