2013 marked Oscar's 50th year as a designer and then we lost him in 2014. That makes this dress from one of his final collections. I think that this dress was also one of the stand out cocktail length dresses of the collection. It was Look 13 on the runway and you can see from the various reference photos attached and the video from the runway show how spectacular this dress is on the body and how it moves. It is stupendously beautiful and shows you just how fabulous Oscar de la Renta was at designing this type of dress.
This is a dress that really comes to life once on the body with its simple little shift shape. The dress is extremely easy to wear. The sequins have been applied onto the nude colour silk base underneath so that it shimmers in the light from every angle. It is sleeveless with shallow scooped neckline. The sequins are densely applied and are a mix of gold, silver and ivory over the body of the dress and then changes to larger ivory coloured iridescent paillettes that wrap around the entire lower skirt. These are all set from one little hole at their tops so that they have a touch of movement to them. When you move the dress makes this incredible little rustling sound that is fantastic. It slightly flares out as it nears the hem and looks so good on. This would make an amazing dress for a bride looking for a non-traditional choice or as an alternative dress in a more extended wedding celebration. And of course it could also be worn to any event.
