2006 wraps: Autumn & Winter

The 2006 items are split into three postings. This one covers the lovely items from the Autumn/Winter deliveries!

• The lovely short Antoinette wraps have arrived and look absolutely gorgeous! In addition to the sequined one (a short version of the one worn by Kate Hudson at the LA premiere of "You, Me and Dupree"), the Antoinette also comes in an all-black crepe (50% wool/50% viscose) as well as the pink&black Nocturne View, as seen in the runway show earlier this year. This dress runs one to two sizes large and is by special order only; Retail: $395 (black)/$415(print)
  NOTE: The evening gown version is also available in VERY LIMITED numbers and the sequiend one was only available by special order through the DvF shop.

• Another gorgeous wrap is the Antonio for autumn; (uncollared, puffed&ruched short sleeves, sweetheart neckline, ruching along neckline, fanned ruching at waist, slightly fuller skirt, lovely ruffled edge along the skirt portion of wrap; Material: viscose in shiny "snakeskin" weave; Retail: $439) -- ON SALE sale for $395!
  
• The Midnight Kiss Gildred has also been getting a lot of press, but I have to share the opinions of my clients (and my own experience) to say that the shoulders of this wrap do not quite fit right across the back, so I am not really recommending this one to anyone who has not tried it on and know for sure their proper size.

DvFs are generally made in sizes US2-US12, with US0 and US14 occasionally available. Please note that DvF sizes run small compared to mainstream labels; I am considered a US4 but I wear mainly US6 and US8 in DvF's designs. If you have never tried on or purchased a DvF before, please contact me to discuss your measurements so that we can figure out what your standard DvF size is. Her items also vary in fit by item, fabric, style and season, so I am more than happy to assist you in ensuring that you purchase the correct size.

Available sizes (X) or sizes that can be ordered (?):
(add 4 to US size to convert to approx UK size, i.e. US6 equates to UK10

If you see something you like, please contact me to discuss sizing and/or to work out details such as shipping preference, total price and payment options (email: FashionForwardStore@hotmail.com).

All items available for pick-up in NYC. Shipping cost is additional and I prefer USPS Priority with Delivery Confirmation for US addresses and Global Express for International addresses.
Cash, PayPal, Western Union, USD money orders and USD bank drafts accepted. Credit/debit PayPal payments have an additional 5% surcharge added to cover the fees that PayPal assesses, so if you can pay by non-credit/non-debit card PayPal, you can avoid having to pay that additional 5% surcharge.
