The best $225 you’ll ever spend…really!

Ever heard of The Wrap dress from Butter by Nadia? Well if you haven’t, fret not, you know I gotcha covered. I’ll tell you right off the bat this is one of the smartest fashion items I’ve seen in a long time.
Some of Brooklyn-based (Go Brooklyn!!) designer Nadia Tarr’s celebrity clientele list includes Naomi Watts, Sarah Jessica Parker and Rosie Perez just to name a few. And what’s the item these celebs are wearing from Ms. Tarr? Her Signature Wrap Dress. Check it out:

Now I see some of you blinking like, “OK, $225 bucks for THAT?! What is the big deal? It’s a simple dress!” Simple, yes, but here’s what the big deal is–better yet, I’ll pull a quote from Benny + Shaw’s online boutique and let it do the talking for me:
“This original Butter by Nadia design, available in super comfy satin or jersey, is the ultimate One size fits (2-16) dress that amazingly compliments any woman’s figure. Worried about that tummy? Your thighs? Don’t be! Wrap the wings of this dress and allow the fabric pleats to hide and camouflage any problem areas. Thinking this dress could never support your cleavage? Throw those thoughts out the window. You won’t even need a bra…really! Versatile, these dresses can be wrapped in over a dozen different ways to create a new look each time you wear one. Shape them to wear cap-sleeved, butterfly sleeved, strapless, and even as a skirt!“
Did you read that? I’ll give you some time to read it again. *Whistling while reader re-reads* Yes! So that’s at least 12 different ways to rock the same fabric over and over and over again aaaand, it can fit all body types. What that means is, all my expecting Hot Mamas – you can wear it also, whether you are 2 days pregnant or 40 weeks plus 3 days (oy!) pregnant, catch my drift? In other words, pregnant or not, the dress works. OK. I’ll stop rambling now. You want pictures, so ch-ch-ch-check it out:
Wow…Pretty neat, huh? Of course, the dress comes in different colors, because as women, we need variety in our fashion lives, n’est pas? You can also choose between jersey or satin fabric. Aaaaaand, there is a longer version as well for those who prefer longer hems (for an extra $20.00 of course):
Simply “gorge”.
There’s even instructions on how to achieve some of these different looks on the Benny + Shaw site. I like! I like!
And why I said that it’s the best $225.00 (USD) that you’ll ever spend is because, well, let’s do the math, people. $225 bucks, 12 different looks…*calculating*…well that comes out to $18.75 USD per look!
Got a wedding to go to? You can wear this dress. Meeting the girls at the club? No worries! You got the perfect dress/skirt. Got a babysitter already booked and ready for your hot date, fine! You’ve got JUST the thing to wear! And what if you’re already out and need to dress up or down to go somewhere unexpected (with no time to run home to change?). If you’re wearing this dress/skirt, you can just run into the ladies room and switch it up!! Feel me? I mean, really, can you go wrong with this?
