Wide-Sleeve Draped-Bodice Gown

Dolce & Gabbana's pastel blue, pink and yellow gown evokes a sense of bygone-era drama, recalling costumes worn in classic Italian films such as Fellini's La Dolce Vita. It's crafted in Italy from silk chiffon with wide sleeves and an artfully draped bodice, then flows to a floor-sweeping hem. Style it with an opulent handbag to complete a majestic special occasion edit.

• 100% silk

Think Sicilian lace, hourglass silhouettes and a big dose of grandezza, and you have the most glamorous of fashion houses: Dolce & Gabbana. Launched in 1985, the label offers a fresh perspective on Italian heritage, modelled on the designers’ idea of the Mediterranean woman – strong, feminine, exuberant. As seen in Harper’s Bazaar, Grazia and many others.
