Exclusive: Peter Soronen DNC dress

This is the actual dress Mrs. O wore for the second night of the DNC, prior to custom alterations. Highlighted in our Lovely in Brocade post, the dress is a Peter Soronen design, purchased through Chicago's famed Ikram boutique. The rose brocade cocktail dress in lime is made of fabric from Soronen's Pre-Spring 2008 collection, and cut in a design from his Fall 2008 collection. The original dress, above, was altered for the DNC, the sleeves shortened and a ruffle added at the bust.  We love the hidden story behind the DNC dress, and think Mrs. O made smart alternations, very sensible for the occasion.
