I have been very inspired by Chanel lately and their unique, feminine style, which I have tried to capture in this fashion. The strapless cocktail dress has a sweetheart neckline and is made from a tone on tone candy pink silk brocade. A white organza bow decorates the hip. A frothy white chiffon rose bolero studded with pearls is an extravagant accessory.
