I didn’t want to lump this entry with the other fashion post because this is in another class. I saw this dress at South Coast Plaza and I fell in love with it instantly. Too bad the price is so high though!

So I tried it on because it’s free to try it on! I’m usually a size 4, but this fit a little loosely on me. Models are lucky because they get the dress tailored to them before they walk. I don’t have a tailor in the dressing room…

The two lines on the bodice are actually 2 black elastic straps that you have to stretch to the back of the dress and clasp them together. It took me awhile to figure that one out. I was like “uh…why are these stretchy bands just hanging down the front…is this couture?”

And a couple days after I drooled over this dress, I saw it in a magazine! My tastes are in good company.

The price tag: $500.
