The geometric shape of the layering on this white evening dress mirrors the 'V' neckline. That's good.

But the first layer can kind of throw you off, because it looks like a pair of raised shorts.

Having long layers, or layers that are spaced so far apart, is a tricky eveningwear design challenge, because it tends to "break up" the gown into awkward parts.

The sharp angles of the layers are uncommon and too harsh. See Kate Beckinsale's dress for a soft, layered look.
