It is made of a pale grey silk tulle, heavily embellished with seed pearls and crystals, with the cuffs and collar edged with stiff grey silk organza.  The dress was shown in Fashion in Motion at the V&A in October 2014 and later worn by the French-Ukrainian actress Olga Kurylenko at the opening night gala for the 11th Annual Dubai International Film Festival in December of that year.
