I like this dress — it looks modern without looking as if you were trying too hard to be modern. It’s a good shape, a good length, and no matter how smart and manipulative your personal body-image demons are, they probably haven’t gotten around to talking you into hating the very suggestions of your shoulders yet. So show ’em off! This dress also requires essential (or at least very Dangly) Earrings, or possibly even a Striking Cuff Bracelet, so keep that in mind. (Neither of which accoutrements could I wear for much more then ten minutes before slipping them off to be lost forever in the bottom of my handbag, so I would be drastically underaccessorized in this dress.)
And by “try something new,” I imply if you’re a size 0/2 and have $119 to spare — this is on sale at Neiman’s and 0/2 is the only size left. Ah, end-of-season sales, where the two ends of the bell curve make out like bandits, and the rest of us in the hump just LOOK.
This dress is NOT — and I can’t tension how essential this is — NOT made of that hideous stretch polyester that so numerous knit dresses are molded of these days. No, this one is very good combed cotton.
Why the model was told to have no two planes of her body facing the same way, I have no idea. but she’s doing a really good job of following instructions, isn’t she?
