Rust satin ruffle dress with a draped wrap skirt

A rust satin dress built around two ideas: a deep ruffle that runs from one shoulder to the other, half of it in satin and half in a matte, suede-like panel folded into sharp points, and a wrap skirt draped from a wide satin waistband, with a flat matte panel across one hip and a front split that opens from the knee. The neckline is a soft V and the dress is sleeveless, so the ruffle is the whole top half.

It is a dinner or event dress for the warm half of the year, worn with a pointed sandal and the hair down over the matte shoulder so the satin one does the talking. Nothing else near the shoulders; the ruffle is already a lot. Lamp light suits it, daylight makes the rust go orange.

I was painting. The canvas stayed white. The dress did not need help.
