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.
