YOU GUYS. You KNOW how I feel about (a) patterned evening gowns, and, (b) Erdem in general. I really wish this didn't have the dust-ruffle detailing on the bottom, but I feel like that's looking a gift horse in the mouth because -- although I suspect this will be *very very divisive* \-- I really like this, that bit notwithstanding. Between this gutsy choice, and [the bare, sheer back on last night's Jenny Packham](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/wills-kate-harry-spectre-premiere-10-2015/), it seems Strides Are Being Made in terms of fashion adventurousness, and I am definitely here for *that.*

I also think said Dust Ruffle looks MUCH better in movement than it does in pictures:

Let us discuss!

PS: This 100 Women in Hedge Funds event raised money for one of Kate's charities, The Art Room, which -- if I may quote the DMIK -- "uses art therapy to build confidence in vulnerable children experiencing emotional and behavioural difficulties."
