Bombshell.

I love thoughtful understatement.

Love shy elegance.

Love the classics.

But, sometimes, something else altogether is required.

Let me show you that something else.

You. The complete knockout. The you who is too often concealed by moderately attractive business wear, comfy casual wear, or that little ubiquitous black dress.

You devil. Enjoy.

Romantic Rose Dress (No. 3598). Vintage pattern from England, where knowing flowers is in their DNA and where they dream about gardens. Recreated in a 97% cotton and 3% spandex poplin. Fully lined in 100% silky polyester. Scoop neckline. Princess seams on bodice. Nice kick pleat. Below knee length. Invisible zipper at center back. Circle cut out in back is an unexpected, but welcome, detail.

Still quite liberating. Imported.
