If you've been coveting the Dori, here's just a few details from designer Hayley Paige that helps explain what makes this dress so special! 

This gown was editorially shown on the runway as a daring two-piece cropped. The skirt was an adaptation of our Londyn skirt; just in a unique colorway. Although we call this color "alabaster" it's actually a mixture of dogwood, silver blue, and ivory. I call her the sleeping beauty skirt because a chameleon-like color effect occurs. Depending on the light, the gown changes from blush, to blue, to purple, to ivory.  

As for the beaded bodice, this artwork was actually inspired by a simple bouquet of roses. I took a bird's eye view and traced the outline of the roses in rhinestone. I also specifically chose opal and alabaster to pick up on the blue, pink, and purple hues in the skirt.
