This dress wasn't the exact one I wanted (with the black, red, white colour block) but it is the same dress in silk with shorter sleeves and has the cruise season's leopard print in black and white with a splash of yellow. The back is amazing! I love the bamboo detail and all the little details on the dress, and it fits very well. Though I prefer the black, red, white one more, I still really like this one. The SA said that that dress was unavailable in the whole of HK and that by the time it would arrive here, they would've started selling the s/s collection!

However, at $24,160 HK (roughly $3000 US!) this dress was the most expensive purchase I have ever made and the value of all my Gucci items added together still doesn't cover the price of the dress! I will need to stop purchasing for a long time, which is so much easier said than done... Hmm, but I'm eyeing the Gucci page pumps, they go so well with the dress!

When I walked out of the boutique, I couldn't imagine that I had spent that much money! Oh, and my address got registered, so hopefully I'll be getting catalogs! The SA told me that you had to purchase $150,000 HKD worth of items to qualify for Gucci VIP status and VIPs can enjoy 10% off for all brands under the Gucci Group...

But the dress is still quite classic... is it? I have an event to go to on 14th Dec and would love to wear this dress, but I'm not actually sure if I should return it and wait for the colour block or keep it. This version is actually more expensive, at $24,160 compared to the $20,500 colour block one.

Ok, now for the pics:
