This stunning number is Lola by the amazing Leona Edmiston.
As part of her Frocks Collection, this is one of her latest designs for Autumn/Winter 2014.
The Lola dress is anything but ordinary.
It features a beautiful soft frill neckline and the dress itself has a faux wrap look. The eye catching alligator print will ensure you turn every head this season.
This amazing alligator print is from the New York Print House and was originally designed in the 1950’s.
It has now been printed for the first time on a lovely slinky jersey fabric.
The fabric itself is a polyester/spandex blend and feels amazing to the touch. It almost like a liquid running through your hands and as it has a little bit of weight in it, once worn, it falls beautifully.
The best way to take care of such a fabric is to reverse cold hand wash it with like garments. Then hang to dry in the shade and a cool iron on the reverse side. It’s also dry cleanable, but remember to remove the belt before washing.
This dress looks simply stunning on. I’m warning you, on the hanger, it really doesn’t look it’s best. You really need to try on a dress like this to see its full potential.
It provides curves where you need them and hides those little flaws around the tummy. And believe it or not, if you do have a little bit of a baby tummy, no need to suck in when your wearing this. It is the perfect camouflage and makes your body look great.
The 3/4 sleeves are perfect for this season. You can team the Lola dress with opaque stockings like in the picture if it’s really cold, or just wear it with thin natural pantyhose and your favourite heels.
When worn, the Lola dress looks so elegant & sophisticated. It’s like a blend of old school glamour and modern sophistication. That alligator print is so unique that the chances of someone else being in the same dress as you are slim.
The Lola dress by Leona Edmiston retails for $495 and can be purchased at any Leona Edmiston boutique. They also have concession stores in Myer so best to check out their locations on the website as there’s probably a store near you.
You can also purchase the dress directly from the Leona website.
