American designers figured out something that it took China thousands of years to figure out. Instead of asking American women to bind their feet from birth, not only making them tiny and feminine but enabling them to only take teeny weeny steps, our boys put us in skintight dresses that made us walk the same way without maiming us. But that must be the compromise since Asians aren't traditionally about showing off the body. A fantastic silk crepe de Chine dress printed with deep magenta hydrangeas on a jet black background. Cut very close to the body, there will be no unruly masculine gait with this. No gaping stride or sprinting across Park Avenue. No, this is a traffic halting dress that will have drivers waiting, agape, as you safely land on the destination sidewalk. And then just a gentle wave of thanks with your hand and back to swinging that purse. Sometimes it's great to be a girl when you see how much dumb crap you can make guys do without much effort. A wide square neckline and short sleeves has a pleated cummerbund waistband with a tiny shoestring bow in front. Slim through the hips with one kickpleat in back, we love that it comes with a cute jacket to toss over the back of a chair when you take it off. Really more of a silk cardigan than a jacket, it has three-quarter blouson sleeves and a pointed collar. Dress is lined through the skirt with one layer of black organdy for body and has a bust of 40", shoulder to shoulder 16", waist 27", hips 36" and length 43.5". Jacket has 17.5" outer sleeve and is 16.5" long. Both pieces are in flawless condition. $180.00 |
