Jet taffeta and emerald tulle explode in this inspired and elite
design from “Stunning” in Melbourne’s Toorak Road. Created
for another Derby Eve Ball in Melbourne’s Hilton Hotel, this
dress made headlines as the swish of its taffeta glided through the
flower arches for the paparazzi to snap. The bodice is bejeweled
with sequins, baubles and beads of every design imaginable, while the
skirt of ballgown impishly raises to reveal a sneak peek at the fine
emerald tulle beneath. This size 12 dress was later adapted for
the World Wildlife Fund’s 25 years in Australia celebrations,
hosted by Dreamworld and Tiger Island, adding a graceful criss-cross
of emerald ribbon to the back, enabling the wearer to indulge in that
extra cream cake and still do up the dress at any size!! |
