I am just completely enchanted by this ‘Silvia’ dress from the popular British fashion label Temperley London:
Shopbop describes it as a “long dress” but it is clearly so much more than that!
The crystal bead embellishment is exquisite, the fitted dropped waist silhouette is so flattering, and the long row of buttons at the back and the tiered fringed hem give the dress a beautiful old-world feel.
Even the grey satin banding on the neckline and the sleeve cuffs make me swoon — that’s how spellbound I am by this Alice Temperley design.
It’s the most beautiful dress I’ve seen in a while and unfortunately, it’s also the most expensive. Right now, it is ranked as the priciest dress at Shopbop, ringing up the cash register at $8,995.00!
Even if I had the money to make this dress mine, I still wouldn’t have a place or an event to wear it. I’ve actually bought formal/semi-formal dresses for “just in case something comes up” before, but they were all reasonably priced and definitely nowhere even near 9,000 dollars.
So I guess this is just one of those dresses to admire through my computer screen.
Oh, and I also have to thank Pippa Middleton and Lindsay Lohan for bringing Temperley London into my consciousness — I wasn’t aware of this label before and I really didn’t know what I was missing!
