Prettiest Resort 2019 Cult Gaia 'Cosette' Draped One Shoulder Dress w Open Waist Cut Outs

The twin of this dress was featured in the Cult Gaia Lookbook for the Resort 2019 collection. It was made under the Creative Direction of Jasmin Larian Hekmat. Hekmat founded the label in 2012 and it is based in Los Angeles. The label's name comes from mixing 'Gaia' (the goddess of Mother Earth) with 'Cult' which she meant to reflect the idea of a community built around organic design, nature and the power of femininity. The label names their dresses and this one was called Cosette. It was produced in several colours, one of which was this gorgeous pinky coral that is noted on the tag as being the 'bubblegum' colour. The dress is made so that it all falls from a single shoulder on one side to create a beautiful drape down and over the body. The bust angles on a slight curve up to a wide gathered shoulder. This extends out to become a part of the dramatic caped panel that falls all the way to slightly past the floor. It leaves the other shoulder bare and exposed. The dress drapes and skims over the bust and curves in at the waist. From there it curves back out over the the hips. At the waist there is a large open cut out circle on both sides that goes from the waist down over the outer hip. To hold this in place around you there is an elastic strap in the same colour that loops around you. The strap is removable so if you prefer the circles completely wide open you can wear it that way as well. It is very sexy. The open cutouts already add drama to the dress and then that cascading panel down the one side adds even more to the extraordinary beauty of the dress. The panel that is attached to the shoulder curves and cascades over the arm and all the way down the body. As the panel falls down the side of the body it extends just past the hem. On one side of the skirt there is a high side slit so that when you move or sit you get a flash of bare leg. It is absolutely the most flattering dress once on the body and it has beautiful movement. The dress is fully lined in matching fabric. It closes with a hidden side set zipper and the band that slips around the waist hooks to close. The band is removable. I see a very faint mark the front but the dress is new with tags and was never worn. Please see the photo after the label shot. The colour is perhaps a touch more pastel than how it photographed.
