The Sherri Hill Spring Summer 2017 collection is the designers biggest yet. Look out for the images of over 500 new styles, that will be released in November 2016.
As always, the new Sherri Hill Collection is totally fresh and new. The key look is off the shoulder, with mermaid jerseys, chiffons, and ball gowns all coming with this neckline.
Also a key look in the new collection, is the amazing figure enhancing scuba jersey. Having created just a few styles in this fabric last year, Sherri has now produced a vast array of styles and colours in this look. In particular, a strapless scuba jersey with a lace peplum detail and a back split, coming in 5 colours including a dreamy blush shade, is set to be a major hit. There are also two pieces, mermaids, and straight styles all in scuba that will appeal to a vast number of girls and figures.
On the printed styles, there is an oriental theme running through the collection. Printed ball gowns and mermaids have a Chinese dragon type print which is both striking and original. There are also breathtaking new florals printed on to a soft organza skirt. Dreamy and romantic, these florals are available in ball gowns and two piece ballgown skirts, and look set to be a popular choice for weddings and proms. A particular favourite, is the floral organza skirt ballgown in navy with a cut out back. Look out for this one which is simply to die for.
As well as the printed organza skirted florals, there are a number of styles in the new collection with an appliqué 3D floral look. This totally new look came in a number of different styles. From cut out soft ballgown skirts in red, to blush organza skirts and yellow tiered dresses, these tiny appliqué flowers give a an original and couture look to the gowns which will make them stand out.
A totally new look and fabric for this year is the stretch satin. Featuring, heavily in the new promotional images there are a number of styles in an array of colours in this fabric. Our top pick was the blush satin straight dress with a halter neck and plunge front and the lave tie back satin style in navy and ruby. Super glamorous and sexy, these styles are going to be a big hit.
On the short and sweets, the off the shoulder look features again, and there is also an adorable lace and satin v corset style that will suit all figures. Black and red florals are also a winner in the short styles.
Finally, look out for the ballgown that is not a ballgown in the new collection. This year, as well as the regular ballgown skirts in satin or mesh, there are a whole group of styles in a heavy mat satin or grosgrain fabric. These skirts are in a ballgown shape, but are much less full than the traditional styles and are a fresh and welcome addition to this category. The plunge front style with pockets and a mesh side in an amazing turquoise colour, is our top tip in this section.
Colour wise, the new collection contains a lot of blush and powder blue. Both the jersey styles and the mesh skirts looked particularly stunning in this colour. Reds and royals remain popular and particularly in the jersey styles. There is also quite a lot of navy in the collection, which always looks elegant.
