This dramatic Fall 2010 Erdem dress is at once simple and complicated, something that is harder to achieve than you might think.  It’s simple because from the front there’s only one visible seam.  Even the sleeves appear to be joined to the bodice invisibly.  The skirt is only marginally taller than the bodice.  The color is muted and easy.

The cutout birds look almost like holograms from this vantage point.  Add to that the immense amount of ruching and you have one very simply complicated piece.  Rock it out, Erdem!  Check out more looks on Style.com.
