Okay, I'm not sure about the cap sleeves, but the rest of the cut of this dress is very nice. While most of the dresses on this list are towards the elegant side of things, this is squarely on the professional side.

I don't know why it's called a cyber print dress when it's a print of an orchid, but it's beautiful. I don't normally like flower prints either, but this is very different.

Purple Label - Women's Mimi Silk Double Layered Dress (Purple)

Highlights: $89

Comments (1)

One would think that with a name like "80's Purple" -- two things I love -- they'd have more that I liked, but at the very least, the store reminds me that one of the things I did not love about the 80's was the clothes, so I wasn't thrilled to see that they were today's Wish-A-Day sponsor, but I went perusing, and found this gem, which is indeed a wonderful Purple number, and good in any decade.

Maybe this should be on my "If I had a million dollars list". And even if I was a chic, they don't make it in my size, but then I guess that's because it's from a limited run. Even so, the material just looks perfect and it's classy with just a touch of flair. Absolutely fabulous, darling.

Wow I love the style of this dress!!! : }

I love anthorpologie. Well, who doesn't... I mean their clothes look hot just on a dress form. This is the first piece I'm actually adding from them though because when I look at their website, I'm just overwhelmed. This one I grabbed from @aplyler's Dresses list. Incidentally, it's a really dark plum. Awesome.

Another fabulous purple dress from rockandrepublic. The last one was pretty versatile -- like there are lots of parties and whatnot the finely dressed lady could wear that to. This one is much more limited in utility. Going to the Oscars? Here's your dress. If I were a chic, about the only thing I could imagine wearing this to would be the opera.

Strange..... I almost added this to my list yesterday but thought it was something I'd never have the opportunity to wear, so I decided against it. Now I'll just have to copy it from your list. :-)

This is hot!!! : }

The third and final purple dress I'm adding from rockandrepublic -- this is the one that caught my eye on their website and made me go check out their dresses. Maybe a bit less formal than the Monroe -- if you've got the figure to pull this off, my hat's off to you. I really like the naming scheme for their dresses, and this one does remind us that Zsa Zsa was indeed once stylin'.

Perhaps this should go on my leaving nothing to the imagination list, although it does leave something -- just not much. No doubt that you've got to be in good shape to pull this off, because it really shows off one's figure, but if you've got it, flaunt it! From sw33tcakesz's Dresses list.

One really has to have the right curves to pull this off. If I could, I would. Alas, not in this lifetime.

Snarffed from @vlfashionhouse. I realized I don't have any LBDs on my list, and this one is fairly compelling -- it's fairly simple without being boring. Of course, I I was a chic, I probably wouldn't have the chest to pull this off, but who knows?

Also from @chanbrina8's LBDs list. Not what I typically think of as a LBD. Sure, it's black, but it's a bit fancier than one would expect at the sort of shin-digs that LBDs are for. I also don't think it has the flattering yet revealing qualities that LBDs tend to. I also notice that it seems designed for ladies who are not overly endowed, which is really great since this is a typically overlooked market, which is disappointing given that it's a much more classic view of a womanly figure (check out more pre-Industrial era art).

However, sir... If you are well endowed you can't get anything to fit correctly either. Trust me... I am a pro at this.

Oh dear, yes. I don't have the time to launch into another one of my why do clothing manufacturers expect a single number to represent anyone's size rants. So in women's sizing, I'm a size 8, which I'd estimate they expect to be on the larger size of a C-cup, whereas I'm sure I'd be more like an A/B-cup. Similarly, if you're a D-cup or bigger, forget about it. I will readily grant that being able to take clothes in is easier than letting them out, but a modification of 1.5-2 cup sizes on just about any dress is going to make it look funny. I guess my key notion regarding the design of dresses versus endowment is that most would look right if sized for a well-endowed lady, whereas they wouldn't look right on a lady with a small cup size.

Comments (1)

Snarfed from gimmebackmybrain -- the purple is perfect (does anyone see a theme here?) and I really like the long sleeves, especially combined with the above the knee hem. I like sleeves that actually go down to my wrists and stay there, which is difficult when one is as lengthy as I, and I'm sure would be compounded by the tighter arm hole cuts on women's clothes. I doubt this would be any different if I traded my Y for a second X.

Lifted from kristygarvey's Fashion Wish List. The mind boggles what could be done with this corset: skinny pants, tap pants, a flowing dress, tight skirt... the list goes on. Black would be easiest, but if you could actually match the purple with black accents -- wow!

I seriously am in love with this! And you're right than would look so smokin hot if you could match a skirt with this.

Recommendations gladly accepted... anyone?
