Some of these are pretty edgy - cool! I am in love with the fabric that looks a bit like plastic wrap - I think it is from a Paris show, there was a ballerina outfit with similar fabric!

Now you're talking. This is the shape that I most identify with. To the point that I cannot pick just one. I would wear them all. Helps that they are all so beautiful and intricate. And that floor lengh swish! Gasp, I love :)

Thanks for sharing....my clothing porn has been satiated.

Oo, prints and maxi dresses - two of my favourite things. The red one right at the top of the post caught my eye, so I sauntered over here to have a peek! Unfortunately I've not yet found a maxi dress that doesn't make me look pregnant, but a girl can only hope that the promised day will come soon...

I love the second ring... and those dresses? GORGEOUS!

MizzJ said...

They're all beautiful! I love this trend, it's so wildly creative. I think if I had to, the Dries van Noten was my fav pick as it resembled a silk painting.
