The contrast between the embroidery and the sheer fabric is greater because it is farther apart. The swathing of the pattern at the bottom is reminiscent of Greek art in a way, whereas the modern "version" (aka travesty) is all done by embroidery machine. It does lack that "little something" and I think that's the difference between slightly "goth bride" and breathtaking gown. The modern dress also lacks shape. The crinoline underneath appears to be crushed by the fabric, and then dragged downwards, whereas Audrey's dress has a lovely bustling effect. It gives it a dreamy lightness. I also don't like the satin ribbon on the woman's veil. What's up with that? Not to mention the black gloves with a white dress. Not sure what kind of statement she's trying to make. It is my belief that if the dress is mostly pale, then go with pale gloves. Mostly dark, then dark gloves. Unless you are a magician or mage, then your gloves should match the trim on your cloak for the sake of "effect". Those are my thoughts...

They had a very friendship that extended many decades...in the PBS Biography of Audrey Hepburn, her son Sean describes their closeness like "sister and brother." Why not enjoy some more of Givenchy's dresses on the web. They are breathtaking....especially when worn by Audrey! Audrey’s wore Hubert Givenchy’s creations in most of her films and off screen, too.

That knock-off dress is atrocious! It looks like she's going to a gothic ball, and doesn't seem to me in any way graceful. I'm making my own attempt at recreating this dress for a wedding, I hope I can pull it off! :o) Cool blog by the way. -Jade I was doing a google image search for this specific Audrey Hepburn dress and found your blog.
