Still a favorite with the fashion pack, the ongoing demands for this timeless dress is what gave Caroline the idea to launch an interactive program. Through the program, users will be able to select the color, length, style, as well as the back details of the dress, thus putting their own touch to this signature piece without losing the essence of Caroline's design.Set to be launched in February, keep a look out for the chance to own this CS dress in a style and length that suits your frame and your occasion.
