Sherri Hill 46717 Dresses

Style 46717 is built around a sculptural embellished bodice whose two cups are densely covered in hand-applied multi-toned stone embellishment, graduating from deep green and blue at the edges toward softer rose and pale lavender at the centre. A fine halter strap rises from the point where the cups meet, drawing the eye upward and anchoring the entire construction at the neck. The midriff is left fully open, so the bodice reads as an architectural object rather than a conventional top, its shaped lower edge finishing in a scalloped beaded border that catches the light from every angle.

Below the open waist, a floor-length skirt of tightly woven gold fabric falls in a close column, its surface broken only by the play of light across the dense texture of the weave. A high front slit opens from approximately mid-thigh, adding ease of movement and revealing a smoother gold lining beneath. The skirt pools very slightly at the hem, confirming a silhouette designed for a long stride rather than a compressed one. Formal Approach photographed this piece on the runway in September 2026, and that direct view makes clear how precisely the bodice and skirt proportion were calibrated: the exposed midriff is a structural decision, not an afterthought.

Style 46717 is available in gold and is offered in a limited size run consistent with Sherri Hill Couture production. Contact Formal Approach directly to confirm current availability and to discuss ordering.
