Oscar de la Renta Floral gathered silk chiffon gown

There's a quiet confidence to the label's Oscar de la Renta Floral gathered silk chiffon gown — the kind of piece that does the work without announcing itself.

In multicoloured 100% Silk, UK 12, the construction rewards a closer look rather than just a passing glance.

Built to outlast a season or two, which is really the point of buying at this level.
