Fluff, ruffles, cheer, and froo froo galore. When I look at any single one of the dresses from Elie Saab's 2011 Spring Haute Couture collection, such adjectives that may also be used to describe a child's doll or invisible companion come to mind. The intricate flowered details and gathers make use of a beautiful fabric to create a flowy silhouette that no sane human can scan over without a slight sense of alarm and exhilaration.
The delicate blush coloring of the first dress brings out the natural rosiness in one's cheeks. If you would like to wear a similar color, don't overdo the blush-Raggedy Anne is not a cool look for a "growed-up" unfortunately. The exposed neckline of the lavender look is incredibly elegant and accentuates the collar bone while the downward sweeping layers elongate a woman's frame. If someone would please provide me with the opportunity to wear this dress/compensation for its cost, I would be willing to bake multiple cakes for that specific individual. Multiple.
As for the rest of these dresses...any combination of ruffle and drape done by Elie Saab would have a fine place in my closet protected by a large quantity of bags, cases, and safe boxes. His varied use of such elements absolutely bewildered me. How many combinations of fluff can you think of? Not as many as that I presume.
Warning: wearing dresses such as these with flowered accessories or a statement anything is a mistake. You will look foolish and be mistaken for a flower garden. No one wants to be watered-don't ask for it.
