Dresses today! This one from dressofyourdreams.com.au and possibly a Chinese wholesaler. I’m a sucker for lace cap-sleeves. I love the tie-up back, I’m not so crash-hot on a train (clumsy!), but I could picture it would be figure flattering, maybe. Can’t try it on, they don’t have a store. Boo.

The one with flowers etc, is Claire Pettibone..

And I Love it. It’s a little wacky, and would cost about $3k+ if I got it from the designer, but it’s cool. There’s 2 of the original with flower on and bodice, and one which was bought by someone and they removed the satin flower on the bodice, which I would prefer to do. I’ve found a Chinese site which seems to replicate these designs for about $2,500+ LESS than you’d pay from the designer. Is that like, copyright breaching for clothes? Is that possible? Maybe, but anyhow. I think I might try and track down the designer’s stores while I’m in the US to try this one on. If I like it, I might order it via China. ;)

And the last is another Claire Pettibone, and is really not my usual style, and Nic would probably say: Yuck! Too much lace! But, it’s got me with the cap sleeves and figure-hugging, curve embracing, hourglass show-offing design. And the back is pretty neat, too.
