PPR 13 Ep 7 chopard dress cropped
Chopard's delightful colored-diamond pave oak branch, complete with diamond and tsavorite pave leaves and acorns caught my eye the moment I saw it -- and the little gemstone spider and web between the bottom leaves pretty much made the choice a no-brainer for me. I designed a simple strapless ballet length gown, constructed in a heavy matte crepe in a deep rust that plays up Merida's hair and the rust-diamond paved "branch" of the neckpiece. A split neckline showcases the trailing leaves and adorable spider -- I made sure the bodice was structured to avoid the peek-a-boob problem experienced by some PR contestants earlier in the season. After the runway, Nina applauded the unconventional jewelry choice, thought the dress worked well -- but could have been a little bit more unconventional as well. Heidi said the dress wasn't her personal taste, but it was a sweet design for someone...sweeter -- and she loved the spider! Zac, on the other hand, took a good look at the bodice construction and pronounced it superb -- and thought the ballet length was an excellent choice, a more formal expression of the trend to longer skirts in day wear.
Safe again...
