Isn’t this pretty? Pretty, when it concerns dresses, is underrated. There’s method as well much interest to sexy, as well as not sufficient to pretty. attractive always seems like a proposition, a prologue, while quite can be delighted in for its own sake. I say, take care of the pretty, as well as the attractive will take care of itself. This is firmly in the variety of pretty, however it’s not unalluring, by any type of means. I like the color, as well as the pattern, as well as the twisty bias trim. It’s Marc by Marc Jacobs (as opposed to, what? Howie by Marc Jacobs? I understand they requirement to differentiate their lower-priced lines, however can’t they phone call it something less tautological?) as well as it’s truly cute. as well as it’s one of the few gowns I’ve seen lately with short sleeves! Why is whatever sleeveless, or worse, strapless? (I blame the seemingly all-powerful sequined-shrug industry.) I’ll even neglect the (very slight) puff to the sleeves. Marc (as iopine explained in the comments of my puffy-sleeves rant) does do good puffed sleeves.
This is providing me great concepts for a few of the silk I purchased in China, honestly. I am having difficulty choosing what to finish with it (other than DURO DURO DURO) however this general shape seems extremely good for spring, as well as the bias trim is a good detail as well as gets rid of the requirement for facings as well as hems, my two least-favorite things to sew! as well as I believe the bands at the hem as well as the midsection aren’t over seams, however are just appliquéd — I’d like to take a look at this in person, as well as discover out.
It’s at Nordstrom for $358 (gulp — however it is silk twill) click on the picture to see the buy-it page.
