ReplyDeletebreathtaking dresses....draping looks so flattering on any body type...glad it 'on trend' again!
ReplyDeleteI love all the draping going on right now! That Burberry line will stick in my brain forever. Also loving the Givenchy dress w/ embellished shoulders. :)
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS!!! just what I need to see to take me to warmer weather (albeit in my mind) on this VERY COLD day!!
ReplyDeleteOoh, Burberry will forever do draping the best; but Francesco Scognamiglio is definitely a close contender for the title. Stunning designs. I definitely love to drape!! :)
ReplyDeletemiss CC! your posts are always so jam packed so much inspiration for swooning! loooove the A.L.C. drape wrap skirt...could live in that in summer and winter with tights or knee high socks! yum.

Hi. I recently stumbled on your blog and immediately loved the first post I read.
ReplyDeleteI love drapery. So much! I love the whole 'grecian goddess' vibe that drapes give.
Can you please check out my newly born blog. It's in desperate need of followers. x
http://dahling0909.blogspot.com/
They're so regal!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for the draping look for '10. I like that Burberry look best.
ReplyDeletegorgeous, a bit of draping can liven up the simplest of items.
ReplyDeleteSome inspiring pieces.
ReplyDeleteHave a fab Christmas xx
Gorgeous and goddess-like! Love the pictures you chose!
ReplyDeleteLe sigh CC!
ReplyDeleteit's sensual those drapesss...

Mmm... I'm such a sucker for draping.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.invasionista.com
damn,love the burberry prorsum one:x
ReplyDeletefaboulous dresses :O
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, such amazing pieces. I've always been a fan of draping. I love the Burberry coats that have just come out with the draping on the bottom, so amazing.
ReplyDelete-Marz
I love draping. It always reminds me of a fairytale. I love the first one.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful styles, I like the nude colored and the neon bright colored drapes the most though - it really brings out the texture! Black and other colors don't seem to add to it as much.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful!!!!
ReplyDeletehttp://candyflosspersie.blogspot.com/
I saw the words Grecian in your Twitter and I had to come see - first blog visit in a while!!
ReplyDeleteThis is just my favourite look because it is so feminine, romantic AND forgiving.
Missed ya, Carrie!!

i would like to second stilettolover's comment and just say GORGEOUS!!! Honestly, it was just one fanfreakingtastic dress after the other!!!
ReplyDeletethese are all absolutely gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteI adore the pink one.
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty styles and color palettes. There is a widely held view that rising hemlines forecast a rising stock market, so the higher the hemlines the better. The fabrics look wonderful and are generously and artistically used in these designs. Now if only somehow we could convince these designers to use models with healthy curvaceous figures. It's so sad to have to leave how these would look on less emaciated models to my imagination, Isn't there some way to bring about some change?
ReplyDeleteamazing post, darling! I love these dresses.
ReplyDeletehappy Holidays to you, xoxo
Some very gorgeous dresses.
ReplyDeleteI love the Iceberg one; such an elegant style but what a bright pop of colour!
Florrie x
these are all so heavenly! i'm going to go scour shopbop for some of these treasures.
ReplyDeletexo
was not a big fan of draping until now!!!
ReplyDeleteI truly hope all your dreams for Christmas come true…
Hope, peace and love…
Xoxoxo
Ps: I would meet you under the mistletoe anytime.
I really like the trends. It reminds me of the classics. I don´t have anything like that though... So better hurry up!
