This dress is not my usual style. (It kind of makes me feel like I should be wearing it to perform in the orchestra. And since music was never my strong suit, it’s not the style of dress I’ve ever had a reason to wear.) But I absolutely love the way it fits me. (It’s not often that I find something that gives my rectangular frame an approximation of a waste.)
What originally drew me to this dress is that it’s made from my current favorite holiday fabric: velvet.
