On the subject of special occasions, what’s an fashionista to do when the formal wear market is dominated by corporate labels and totally shoddy workmanship? Duh, shop indie, obviously. Only it can be a little daunting, as the indie market seems to be dominated by cotton jersey separates and dresses that are cute and quirky, but maybe not formal enough for an event. Here’s a lovely summer time frock to get you started.
I love the classic shape of this dress, the details around the neckline, and the short chiffon skirt. Truth be told, I think it could use a belt. And I don’t love the way it fits on the model. This is not a dress for larger breasted girls with tiny waist, I’m afraid, as the fabric will pull up around the waist and give that uneven look that you see here. But I think that there would be no problem on a stick straight girl, or even a pear shape.
Otherwise, I’m totally taken with the vintage inspired silhouette and details of this dress, and I think it could be dressed down with boots and a leather jacket for more versatility. Available for $125 from Devani Weaver.
