If I had another dress…

… this would be it.

This sampaguita-inspired dress by young designer Alodia Cecilia Sales was part of her Urban Royalty collection at the Philippine Fashion Week in 2008. Two years old and it still rocks, in my book.

Check out the back:

Actually, what really made this whole look stand out was that cape jewelry of rice (freshwater) pearls, snakeskin, Swarovski crystals and silver — also handmade by Alodia (and also desired by me,  LOL). That gorgeous piece of jewelry costs P45,000. The organza tube dress sold for P7,000.

Sigh… I want! Both! LOL.
