Why it's worth it

The flower on the print and the flower on the bodice are the same bloom — one painted, one built.

The Edit

Strapless construction with a boned, fitted bodice releases into a full A-line skirt — the silhouette is occasion-ready without a single pleat or tier. The birds-of-paradise print is rendered in muted, almost painterly tones against deep violet, with depth and shadow that keeps the allover pattern from reading flat. At the neckline, a beaded and fabric-petal appliqué of the same flower turns the print motif into a three-dimensional corsage pinned at the asymmetric bust line.
