Catherine Malandrino Belted Silk Dress

From Catherine Malandrino's Fall collection, worn by "Gossip Girl" star Leighton Meester on a recent shoot.
This is such an elegant, graceful piece. We love the pintucking on the bodice, the daintily-sewn pleats on the 3/4 sleeves, & how beautifully the dress moves around the body.
Just this past Monday, designer Catherine Malandrino marked her 10 years in fashion with the opening of her 10th store -- the 6,000 square foot "Maison Catherine Malandrino" mega store in West Hollywood, which includes a cafe, a bookstore, & all of Malandrino's best-loved pieces.
Dress also available in a rich, gorgeous shade of muskat (plum).
(You can pair yours with a larger-buckled belt, like Leighton Meester did.)
