Dress of the Day: Dior’s Pink Full-Skirt Knit Dress
I picked this Dior dress as today’s Dress of the Day, not just because of my sudden, yet all-consuming, boredom with black dresses, but because there’s something just so ladylike about it, and despite all evidence to the contrary, I love me some "ladylike".
That said, I don’t think this dress is shown to its best on this particular model (if only we could see it on The Red Haired One!), who, to my embarrassment, I actually mistook for a mannequin when I first looked at this. The pose, the sharp angle of her elbow. the makeup and the dress all combine to make this look like something you’d see standing in a dusty shop window circa 1952, and I don’t know why, but I kinda like that about it. I just don’t think I’d pay $2,140 for it…
I like the dress, but the fact that the ribbon is off the seam bugs the living CRAP out of me!
Cadi, me too: I’m just hoping it’s slipped down in this photo and isn’t made like that!
Two thoughts on seeing this beautiful dress on this model:
* She needs to eat a cheeseburger or about half a pizza
* Why do they always pose models with their shoulders angled in? It makes breasts look small and saggy (even surgically-enhanced breasts don’t look good with inwardly-angled shoulders).
