The AP Wire, that is. There was an post on exactly how “the cocktail gown is back!” that ran last week. I’m linking to the version from the Winston-Salem Journal as a shout-out to my hometown …
Some highlights:
“We’re seeing a fitted bodice, fuller skirt – frequently knee-length to midcalf – with a raised or natural waist, a very defined waist.”
Hear, hear!
But with all the choices available, Andrews suggests trying something other than the round-neck, sleeveless black sheath that’s ended up being the basic “little black dress.”
Yes, please!
But, in The-Lagerfeld-He-Must-Be-Stopped Dept.
His fall-holiday Lagerfeld Gallery collection features … a brown sleeveless gown with a pleated hemline, beaded waistband as well as white high-neck collar.
I believe this is the gown in black:
Look exactly how cunningly the armscye is cut into a point, making it impossible to wear an regular brassiere under the dress! look exactly how high the collar is, so that it will make a red mark on the underside of the chin, as well as produce a double chin where none exists! look exactly how the pleats are placed to highlight the widest part of the thigh! The Lagerfeld! He need to BE STOPPED.
