Most designers make clothes, Ralph Rucci creates couture. And he does it with impeccable talent and grace. One look at the detail on this dress and you'll understand why Rucci's designs have walked the couture collections in Paris. Tailored touches -- note the bound buttonholes and handcrafted ball buttons, and hand sewn top-stitching -- combine with his signature suspension technique (also featured in the June/July 2008 Vogue Patterns Magazine) to create a simply stunning piece.
