I like the off-the-shoulder look on this long black dress, as well as the mesh material and satin piping.  Both see-through and luxury materials are *in* right now.

This dress is actually all one piece, and it currently comes in sizes 4 through 16.  Pair it with this black designer clutch from Michael Kors and these Kate Spade high-heel sandals:

Answer:  They were all in fashion news recently.
 
Lindsay Lohan/Paris Hilton Drama — Lindsay Lohan walked out of an event she was hired to work after finding out she would be helping to promote Paris Hilton’s line of handbags.  She’s getting a lot of criticism for it in the press, but I’m afraid I’m going to have to side with LiLo on this one; she wasn’t told about the Paris Hilton thing ahead of time.  So who’s the real cause of the drama, Lindsay Lohan or the less than forthright promoters?  (Or was this whole thing just a promotional stunt to begin with?)

This JS Collections dress is fantastic.  A lot of clothes tend to follow the same pattern, but this one is different while still being in line with current trends.  I love the sleeves on this, the little bows on the sleeves, and the piping; the black floral print against the white background is really exquisite.

Available at Barrie Pace which ships to the United States.  See their women’s clothing sale section, too.
