Spotted in a Shop Window - Yet Another Variation on the Embroidered Dress

Spotted in a window at Nordstrom's in downtown Seattle, this dress caught my eye. I can't help it, I am rather enjoying these embroidered dresses in the Fall 2014 fashion line of Oscar de la Renta. Composed of a net overdress and black underdress, the embroidery is actually on the net overdress, and both back and front are embroidered. Love the contrast of the colorful embroidery against the black underdress.

Sweet design!

Oscar de la Renta Embroidered Dress Redux

I was walking past Mario's in downtown Seattle this past week, and look what was in the window: another embroidered dress from Oscar de la Renta!. You'll remember my post from the other day, which featured two of his dresses as part of his Fall 2014 Fashion Trunk Show.

Here, the dress is still beautifully embroidered in front, but on chartreuse (?) and note the closeup - outlines in the back, but not embroidered. They just look ready to be filled in... :)

Spotted in a Shop Window - Oscar de la Renta Embroidered Dress

Really? Summer hasn't even started, but the Fall 2014 fashion season is ready to roll! I spotted this in one of the windows at Nordstrom's in downtown Seattle today.

What really caught my eye, though, was this stunning embroidered dress - the shimmering light blue background and the rich gold, blue, and pink floral motifs are dramatic and dazzling. I simply love embroidery.

 

The black and white midriff dress in the background appears a bit understated in contrast, but is lovely too. ;-)
