Description

rodarte dress Exquisite 2011 Rodarte One Off Custom Made Silver & Lace Vogue / Kate – Shrimpton CoutureThis is a one off Rodarte dress that was made in 2011. It was made under the creative direction of Kate and Laura Mulleavy. This is the actual dress that appeared on the first page of the Vogue coverage of Kate Moss's wedding. Mario Testino shot the wedding portfolio a week before the actual ceremony. The photos taken then along with some photos from the actual night were included in the write up an interview with Kate in the September 2011 issue

  • This is a one off Rodarte dress that was made in 2011.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Kate and Laura Mulleavy.
  • This is the actual dress that appeared on the first page of the Vogue coverage of Kate Moss's wedding.
  • Mario Testino shot the wedding portfolio a week before the actual ceremony. The photos taken then along with some photos from the actual night were included in the write up an interview with Kate in the September 2011 issue
  • Rodarte had been requested to make a one-off dress for that shoot. Because Kate did not wear it as part of the wedding it was returned to the label. My client later bought it at a Rodarte sample sale. This is the actual dress that Kate wore in the photo.
  • On my Instagram I posted the video of my client's friend who tried it on the day it was purchased at the sample sale. I have also expanded slightly on its history in that post. You can see that by clicking here.
  • I have also added two videos taken in my studio of the dress front and the back. Note that in the video the lighting has caused a bit of a pinky tint here and there this is lighting only there is no discolouration on the dress whatsoever.
  • There is a lot of handwork in the dress as it would have been custom made in-house. The pricing for pieces during this era were also extraordinarily higher than what they currently can be, with the then pricing being up to and over the 20k mark. I cannot even imagine what this would have cost since it was a one off and for such a special occasion.
  • I love how it has a decidedly vintage feel to its cut and it is unbelievably beautiful in person.
  • The top layer of the dress is an off-white net that has silver thread embroidery that covers its entire surface to form the prettiest of designs. Underneath that is a very lightweight silver lame fabric that is set through the body of the dress. The lower skirt has multiple layers of a silver grey coloured tulle built-in underneath the top layer to give and hold the volume that you see.
  • On top of the silver thread pattern that covers the entire dress are little white tube beads mixed with silver sequins. These follow the more floral parts of the design so the entire dress subtly catches the light from all angles. 
  • The sequins and beads were all hand applied and you can clearly see that on the back side of the netting.
  • The neckline is set high and sweeps directly out from the bodice to wrap around and frame the neck. The lace continues in a small panel that extends out from there as it curves around the neck and then snaps back in underneath the front panel. The lace has all been hand gathered up and around you to appear like it is criss-crossing over you.
  • I love how the inner silver layer that sits underneath the embroidered net creates that subtle shimmer of silver underneath..
  • The dress glides over the waist and then curves back over the hips. It widens out slightly as it falls over the upper portion of your legs.
  • The skirt is phenomenal. It is set low on the skirt. At the front it dips down on a soft downward curve and at the back it curves upwards into a soft rounded peak.
  • The skirt is gathered into that seam with the edges left exposed. This creates a slight ruffle detail all the way around you.
  • The skirt is set into that seam and tightly gathered all the way around. The upward curve at the back allows for more fabric to have been set into the skirt so you get that gorgeous feel of a slight train behind you. This is emphasized even more by the resulting curve when you see it from the side.
  • Underneath the skirt are layers of net and they help to hold the fullness all the way around. Everything has been kept light in weight so it doesn't feel awkward or bulky to move around in.
  • The colour in person has a more ivory and silver undertone to it. I think it feels slightly cooler in tone in the photos and video than how it looks in person.
  • The dress is absolutely beautiful and a true piece of fashion history. It is the only one that was ever made.
  • The dress is fully lined in a combination of the silver lame and netting as described above. It closes with a hidden set back zipper. All of the applique work is done by hand and set onto the dress by hand. There is an amazing amount of hand work in the dress. I see a couple of tiny minor pulls and some minor threads around the edges on the underlying silver fabric. The fabric does that easily and I don't consider it a flaw. It is just mentioned for accuracy. This would be considered to be made to sample level so it has some more raw feeling inner seams which is normal to in-house samples. It has only been tried on at the sale and worn once by Kate for the shoot and is pristine. The inner seams have up to 2.5" on either side to work with if needed.
  • There is no size tag present. Please go by the measurements listed below.
  • Excellent condition

This worm, pretty sure it’s a worm and not a snake, can take a lot of abuse.
Size: X-Large (Pack of 1), Color: Blue Snake, Size: X-Large (Pack of 1), Color: Blue Snake
Snake, worm, whatever, my dog doesn’t care, she loves it all the same. My little friend can be kinda rough with her toys. This is no exception. The pictures are from roughly one month of giving it to her and include playing with it at least every other day or so. The top is holding up well, but the bottom has taken some damage, and two of the squeakers have long since been destroyed. Despite this, my dog still loves playing with it. We normally play tug of war together, but on her own she chews at it to get to the squeakers inside, which she promptly destroys, which I’m totally fine with, as quiet toys are much preferred, by me, not her. I believe there are 4 in the XL size that we got. We’ve had a few of these in the past. We tend to get about 6 months out of them. After she “lovingly” removes the squeakers, she doesn’t chew on it much, and we just use it for tug of war, but at that point she’s done enough damage to the underside that its time is limited. But, as it’s pretty low priced, for the time and enjoyment we do get out of it, it’s very much worth it. I do need to clarify, the durability is actually quite good, I don’t fault the product as at all, it’s just my dog is equally as good with destruction, but it should be noted this toy does last much longer than most of her victims. The color, (we got the blue and green) is also very vivid and nice, as is the texture. We’ll be purchasing again.

Awesome toy!
Size: X-Large (Pack of 1), Color: Blue Snake
My pitbull Stella loves these! Ive bought her two of the smaller snake toys in the past and she Absolutly loves them! The first one lasted about 6 months which is a lifetime compared to how long her other toys last lol and the second one lasted about the same. This time I decided to get the XL version. It has 6 squeakers instead of 3 like the smaller versions. I picked the teal and purple colors and it's like 43 inches long I think. Its the same length as her and shes a large size dog. She loves this thing! Its so cute watching her squeak each of the squeakers with her nose. While this is a great toy it is not chew proof. In fact its quite easy for an experienced chewer to get into this toy. It is relatively strong but it wont stand a chance with a power chewer. Like I said this is the third one of these I have bought in roughly a year. They do last longer then more soft toys I will give them that. This is the only soft toy she has not destroyed in 5 mins. But after a week or so at least one squeaker will be missing. For the average dog one of these snake toys will last a really long time and they are fun to play with. We play tug of war and fetch with it. Stella also loves when I squeak the toy she will squeak it back and we'll go back and forth for hours lol. One last thing it is loud! If noisy toys bug you, don't get this. The sqeakers are industrial strength lol

Durable toy but definitely NOT invincible
Size: Medium (Pack of 1), Color: Orange Gecko
BACKGROUND I have two labradors and, with my friends dogs over, we have a combined combination of five labradors at a time. If you have seen the film "Marley & Me" then you will understand our dogs. They tear through concrete, dry wall, and, well, just about anything they can get their paws and mouths on. It is very important to have plenty of toys for them to keep pre-occupied as most of the destruction is caused by dogs that are bored. Unfortunately, many items are not able to withstand this combined destructive force. I spotted these "Invincible" line of toys and thought they were worth a try. I ended up ordering basically one of every style and size. APPEARANCE The toys come in different sizes, colors, and shapes. The most common are the Gecko and the Snake. The toys are covered with a more durable cloth that is fuzzy and suppose to withstand quite a bit of chewing. Inside the toys are what are described as durable squeakers that, if punctured, will still squeak even after hours of being bitten and chewed upon. The larger the toy ordered, the more squeakers that are sewn into the toy. RELIABILITY I have to admit these toys did last about ten times as long as any other toy I have given my dogs. Unfortunately, nothing is indestructible. My dogs managed to find kinks in the lining of the toys that, once penetrated, will cause the toys to open leaving stuffing and squeak toys all over the place. The squeakers did withstand quite a bit of chewing before the squeaking went silent. I noticed that the snake toy did last quite a bit longer than the gecko or the little dragon characters. The snake had separate compartments for the squeakers and so, if one was torn out, the others survived. On the Gecko once its middle section was torn open the squeakers were lost. CUSTOMER SUPPORT Not utilized PROS: ++ Lasted about 10X times the length of time as other "invincible" toys CONS: ++ They are not truly "invincible" and will be destroyed over time CONCLUSION The invincible line of toys did last a lot longer than most toys that I have purchased for my labradors. I would recommend the snake over the gecko or other styles. I have had to toss the geckos as they were shredded but the snakes are still with me to this day six months later. Also note, even though "Invincible" is in the title, these toys are definitely not although you will save an incredible amount purchasing these toys once and having a gradual destruction process versus having to buy new toys continuously over the same period of time that these lasted.

The toy is no match for my dogs.
Size: Large (Pack of 1), Color: Pink Snake
The toy itself is well made and the squeaker work well. Unfortunately, it only lasted about 2 weeks before my Treeing Walker Coonhound pup (super chewer) had it shredded. My Plott hound ( heavy chewer) just loved these! She is older and they last longer for her. However she does love to go for the seems first then rips out the squeaker. But she will carry it around for months like that. I think she like the material. I'll probably go back to Walmart for the smaller cheaper ones for now.
