Gorgeous 2014 Lanvin by Alber Elbaz Deep Green & Navy Silk Striped Sarong Dress w Tie Halter designer-helena-barbieri Elastic waist: 14-18" flat acrossThis gorgeous dress is from the Spring 2014 collection. It was not a runway piece but it was not unusual for other pieces to be produced for retail by the brand. From his very first collection for the Fall of 2002, Alber brought a beautiful silhouette to the house that was flattering to women but still was very easy to wear. As good as it looks on my dress form it is even better on an actual body that will give it shape. It is a really beautiful dress
