That Dolce & Gabbana dress

For a crisp autumn morning this image describes so well my daydream state of mind. There is the romance in it, the idyllic beauty of the countryside, the tailoring of the Dolce & Gabbana strapless tweed dress with tulle underskirt, Grace Coddington’s magical touch.

    Such a fabulous scene; of course it was styled by Grace Coddington – she creates magic in all of her features. Adore the dress too! xx

    I’ve always loved this dress…. That ending of Fall 2008 collection and the dresses from Spring 2008 (painted silks) and 2009 (covered with roses) have always been the ones from my “dream list”. Remember a picture from Red I posted once, a girl in a dress (her version was brown with golden sash) running? I think it was one of the scans I emailed you later. And the editorial is beautiful, too. Very soft and autumnal. Hope you are having a great day, darling. x
