Valentino Spring/Summer 2011 haute couture collection is a sheer delight. As light as a gentle breeze, this collection features airy, gossamer dresses in the palest of shades, accented with delicate ruffles.

Mini dress with gentle flounces on the skirt and butterfly appliques on the sheer bodice.

Long sleeve dress adorned with clover shaped appliques.

One shoulder gown with plissé skirt.

The top of this ensemble looks like a faint whisper -- it's barely there.

Compared to the Fall 2010 Couture collection, bows take a back seat. But tiers still feature prominently.

Embroidered edge tiers on this dress gives it an old-fashioned charm.

Neck piece contributes to this outfit overall prairie/vintage feel.
