On your visit to the sprawling chateau grounds just outside Paris, it was the sight of the lush royal gardens that really moored in your mind. When you returned stateside, you decided to don this gorgeous frock by British designer Darling to replicate that dramatic foliage to a fashionable effect. Its voluminous bodice and skirt of polka-dotted rosettes mirror the striking topiary that lined the castle's plentiful terraces, while its banded waist and decorative bow give this daring dress a touch of sweetness along with some figure-defining shape. By adding lacy tights, metallic T-straps, and a beaded clutch to this fully lined number, you managed to bring the magnificence of Versailles back home.
