rodarte dress Exquisite 2011 Rodarte One Off Custom Made Silver & Lace Vogue / Kate – Shrimpton CoutureThis is a one off Rodarte dress that was made in 2011. It was made under the creative direction of Kate and Laura Mulleavy. This is the actual dress that appeared on the first page of the Vogue coverage of Kate Moss's wedding. Mario Testino shot the wedding portfolio a week before the actual ceremony. The photos taken then along with some photos from the actual night were included in the write up an interview with Kate in the September 2011 issue

  • This is a one off Rodarte dress that was made in 2011.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Kate and Laura Mulleavy.
  • This is the actual dress that appeared on the first page of the Vogue coverage of Kate Moss's wedding.
  • Mario Testino shot the wedding portfolio a week before the actual ceremony. The photos taken then along with some photos from the actual night were included in the write up an interview with Kate in the September 2011 issue
  • Rodarte had been requested to make a one-off dress for that shoot. Because Kate did not wear it as part of the wedding it was returned to the label. My client later bought it at a Rodarte sample sale. This is the actual dress that Kate wore in the photo.
  • On my Instagram I posted the video of my client's friend who tried it on the day it was purchased at the sample sale. I have also expanded slightly on its history in that post. You can see that by clicking here.
  • I have also added two videos taken in my studio of the dress front and the back. Note that in the video the lighting has caused a bit of a pinky tint here and there this is lighting only there is no discolouration on the dress whatsoever.
  • There is a lot of handwork in the dress as it would have been custom made in-house. The pricing for pieces during this era were also extraordinarily higher than what they currently can be, with the then pricing being up to and over the 20k mark. I cannot even imagine what this would have cost since it was a one off and for such a special occasion.
  • I love how it has a decidedly vintage feel to its cut and it is unbelievably beautiful in person.
  • The top layer of the dress is an off-white net that has silver thread embroidery that covers its entire surface to form the prettiest of designs. Underneath that is a very lightweight silver lame fabric that is set through the body of the dress. The lower skirt has multiple layers of a silver grey coloured tulle built-in underneath the top layer to give and hold the volume that you see.
  • On top of the silver thread pattern that covers the entire dress are little white tube beads mixed with silver sequins. These follow the more floral parts of the design so the entire dress subtly catches the light from all angles. 
  • The sequins and beads were all hand applied and you can clearly see that on the back side of the netting.
  • The neckline is set high and sweeps directly out from the bodice to wrap around and frame the neck. The lace continues in a small panel that extends out from there as it curves around the neck and then snaps back in underneath the front panel. The lace has all been hand gathered up and around you to appear like it is criss-crossing over you.
  • I love how the inner silver layer that sits underneath the embroidered net creates that subtle shimmer of silver underneath..
  • The dress glides over the waist and then curves back over the hips. It widens out slightly as it falls over the upper portion of your legs.
  • The skirt is phenomenal. It is set low on the skirt. At the front it dips down on a soft downward curve and at the back it curves upwards into a soft rounded peak.
  • The skirt is gathered into that seam with the edges left exposed. This creates a slight ruffle detail all the way around you.
  • The skirt is set into that seam and tightly gathered all the way around. The upward curve at the back allows for more fabric to have been set into the skirt so you get that gorgeous feel of a slight train behind you. This is emphasized even more by the resulting curve when you see it from the side.
  • Underneath the skirt are layers of net and they help to hold the fullness all the way around. Everything has been kept light in weight so it doesn't feel awkward or bulky to move around in.
  • The colour in person has a more ivory and silver undertone to it. I think it feels slightly cooler in tone in the photos and video than how it looks in person.
  • The dress is absolutely beautiful and a true piece of fashion history. It is the only one that was ever made.
  • The dress is fully lined in a combination of the silver lame and netting as described above. It closes with a hidden set back zipper. All of the applique work is done by hand and set onto the dress by hand. There is an amazing amount of hand work in the dress. I see a couple of tiny minor pulls and some minor threads around the edges on the underlying silver fabric. The fabric does that easily and I don't consider it a flaw. It is just mentioned for accuracy. This would be considered to be made to sample level so it has some more raw feeling inner seams which is normal to in-house samples. It has only been tried on at the sale and worn once by Kate for the shoot and is pristine. The inner seams have up to 2.5" on either side to work with if needed.
  • There is no size tag present. Please go by the measurements listed below.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.
