Collette Dinnigan is a girly girl through and through. Her beloved lace, beads, ruffles, and sequins dovetailed nicely with her Resort collection s "Seaside Escapes" theme. There were a few dresses that will look smashing on the Aussie designer s starlet clientele. A vintage-inspired, tie-neck frock in bias-cut "Santorini blue" satin, for example, had Taylor Swift s name written all over it, and a short shift with paillettes color-blocked in peach and orange was also red carpet-ready. Unfortunately, not everything here was quite that on point. A perforated lace sheath would ve been lovely without the structured wire frills on its shoulders, and we d recommend steering clear of giant, sequined pineapples like the one on the final gown altogether. On the other hand, a crystal "seashell" miniskirt paired with an oversize cashmere T-shirt got the embellishment equation just right.
