& I saw a dress in a magazine a while back that was like that super-poofy one. It was some actress and her dog. I commented to my friend that this would be one of those dresses that, in the future, the woman would look back on and say "WHAT was I THINKing?" If you can believe it, it was worse than the one you posted a link to. Think puffy candy stripes. And a little yapper dog. OMG.
# What does it say about me that I liked all of the ones they denigrated as "too costumey"? Well, some of them were a bit over the top, but not as much as I think they thought they were.
% Interesting that they're showing so many things with bold color accents on them. I did that myself, 16 years ago, but it pretty much Was Not Done at the time.
@ I think many of the "strapless" ones might be improved with a shrug or bolero jacket. At least one of them showed a "matching" sheer jacket you could order separately. You could always get a seamstress to make one to match, especially if you ordered extra fabric with the dress (expensive, but might be worth it).
