Spring 2006 Reem Acra Pale Grey Silk Chiffon Silver Rhinestone Beaded High Bodice Dress designer-marni Bodice: 16" from shoulder seamThis is a lovely dress by Reem Acra who for twenty years has been producing ready to wear and bridal collection. Her pieces tend to combine traditional elements with modern aesthetics and her work can be very beautiful. This was shown on the Spring 2006 runway with a slightly different bodice and then a version with sleeves and upper shoulders was used for the Bridal campaign ads that year and that one matches the bodice of the one I have in the shop
