Pretty Dress!

The gown is BEAUTIFUL! It would look great on a hollywood star walking down a red carpet. I hope it pulls in alot more than $5,000 for the charity though, that would be nice.

i love the dress, anything that can help children is a great ideal regardless the price.

WHAT A SHAME!!! It was NOT made for a good cause but it just an advertising vehicle! The designers do PR campaign for themselves as well as Lancôme and the girl. They don’t mind the children..where are these children? Heve you seen them or just a bottle of aromatic water that they push on the market? They are all shallow, stupid people, so young and already have no principles will do whatever to make money.

Like who has $5,000 just hanging around? I realize its for charity but atleast offer something that most people can afford to part with. That dress reminds me of the 70’s.

Was so angry with them about all that fake charity issue that forgot to say that the dress is nothing to write home about. Again these two young designers could be more adventures but Lancôme said them that their customers are conservative ladies after 50s so please no surprises.

If I had her height, I’d wear a Prouenz Schouler dress like that, although I don’t particularly for the material that goes across her bust line. Love the colour though.
