This dress gets the full on feminine treatment though - the entire front bodice is corded to create leaves and stems and then a virtual flower garden of little embroidered flower heads are stitched into place giving it a 3D appearance

The dress skims over the bust and then curves in at the waist

Made of a silk chiffon crepe it drapes beautifully and it is cut on the bias so moves to follow your shape when you slip it on

And I think that is the case because she continually used a fairly basic palette and always kept to that sleek
