The passage describes Elie Saab's Spring 2012 Haute Couture fashion collection which showcases mostly sparkly, pastel-colored party and evening gowns with variations in necklines, sleeves, trains and occasional capes.

The passage describes Elie Saab showcasing full-skirted party frocks and slim evening gowns in a rainbow of pastel shades, nearly all of them sparkly.

The passage mentions that what separated one dress from another was the vertiginousness of a neckline, the presence or absence of sleeves, the length of a train, and the occasional cape.
