The collection also included simpler silk faille full length evening gowns in pastel colours such as powder pink, celadon green and watermelon pink with perfectly placed ruffles. 


The collection also featured beautifully crafted floral motif of 3-D flowers on comfortable evening silhouettes  from a black, full skirted evening gown to V-neck tailored jumpsuit.  On some of the pieces Plunging necklines and thigh high slits were added for a sexier appeal.
