I am attending a wedding in Colorado in October and I've started shopping for a dress. Could the Storm-of-Shapes Dress ($158) be the one I've been searching for? Yoana Baraschi has a great eye for the feminine shape and patterns. There is a bit more fabric around the shoulder than I'd like but the cute sash more than makes up for it.
This dress was so cute in real life. No, I didn't Photoshop my hand off in the far left shot -- this dress has pockets! And while pockets can add hips to hips on top of hips on some dresses here they fit right in with the slightly poofy skirt. I tried on my true size 6 and the dress gets high marks. From the online product page I see the shape of the dress changed a bit between sample and production. It looks like the skirt used to have a bit of an a-line to it. I'm glad that changed. The straight shape of the production skirt balances the poofiness well. The length was great too. I was happy this hit right at my knee.
One knock (there's always one) is that the zipper was nearly impossible to zip. I'm not really sure why. The back isn't too low; it was just hard to zip up. Putting on this dress is a 2-person job! Is this outfit good enough to stay in my cart? Or should it get cut out?
