A Woman Could Really Blossom in a Dress Like This

You could easily win "best-dressed" in one of these outfits, but you'd want to stay out of the wilting sun. Going to the loo might be a little tricky as well. But no matter. The flower-dress creations of designers Niels van Eijk and Miriam van der Lubbe are a sight to behold. So if you're ready to do some beholding, check out the their work today at the brand-spanking New Amsterdam Plein and Pavilion, at Battery Park. The dress designs, which are nothing short of glorious, have been brought to life by flower arranger Florian Seyd.
The Pavilion, a permanent gift from the government of Holland to New York, will be presented to Mayor Michael Bloomberg by that nation's prince and princess around noon, and will be open to the public starting later on in the day.
If you do drop in to the pavilion, your nose will quickly lead you to the most fragrant dresses this side of Rotterdam. Photos by Rosina Shiliwala.
