This is the bookstore scene. Ivy is mid-con — introduced to the Upper East Side as Serena's estranged cousin, working her way closer to Dan, letting Vanessa believe she's the one running the game. Nobody in the room knows who she actually is. The dress is doing exactly what Ivy does: it looks like it belongs there.
The tiered chiffon silhouette, geometric print, and beaded bodice are precisely the kind of studied-bohemian dressing that reads as old money casual — which is, of course, the costume department's entire point. Ivy Dickens didn't dress like herself. She dressed like Charlie Rhodes.
