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.

"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."
