here is the dress i saw at dior, courtesy of style.com:
it’s from their fall 2007 ready-to-wear collection and it was gorgeous in real life. it was more muted and gauzy than i thought it would be; less shiny and more folded layers of material. i didn’t touch it but guess it’s a polyester blend? god, that sounds so … pedestrian. but what do i know about dressmaking. i don’t think it was silk. i love how it falls under “ready-to-wear,” as if it’s this casual thing like a pair of boat shoes from LL Bean. but seriously, i’m ready to wear it now. ahem, anyone want to lend me 21,000 euros?
