Ornate, draped numbers brought a breath of fresh air to some Fall/Winter 2009 collections. This fall, stand out among dark knits and the usual autumn garb with delicate, strategically ruched and draped patterned pieces. For the bolder lot, try shimmery dresses like the first and fourth look, both
Balenciaga. To tone it down, you can test out a muted palate, like the gorgeous
3.1 Phillip Lim stunner (center left) or the whispery
Isabel Marant look (center right). Channel the fancy dress look with our own
Art Deco 80s Silk Gown at Threads and Shreds.
