This is The Truffle Dress. This name came about as many of us in the store think that it gives the impression of a white chocolate confection of the same name. Like the others in our private line, this dress is directly inspired by one of our favorite original vintage pieces.
The Tulip Dress is resplendent in Ivory! Its a perfect dress for the cocktail bride that creates a beautiful shape from any angle.
