Adrien: Devil Dress.

So, I have this Banana Republic dress and it's kind of the devil. Oh, it looks good on paper, but please note the struggles I had the first time I wore it. I wore one more time and then it started to unravel at the waist, so I took it back to the store for repairs. Then I forgot about it for a month. I finally rescued it and decided to give it another go:




(Sorry the photos look so washed out! The light was weird.)

It's still a difficult dress and requires quite a bit of under pining action. I chose to pin the front instead of wearing a cami and you can kind of tell. I should just sew that bitch shut because it's way too low cut otherwise. Man, this dress is too much work.

PS. My husband bought himself a new camera and has been experimenting with manual focus. This is the first attempt:



dress: Banana Republic 3/4-Sleeve Faux-Wrap Dress
shoes: Chie Mihara (similar)
cardigan: Gap (similar)
bag: Michael Michael Kors Large Leather Satchel

  7. I have this dress too, and I agree it's better in theory. Definitely too low cut for those of us who are well endowed. I've gone the camisole route, but then you run the risk of seeing the line where the cami ends. Oh, and Spanx are a must. Sigh.

  12. I...am happy? That's me smiling up there! I don't really love my teeth, so it's rare to get a toothy grin out of me.
