The Gray Lady Wears a Dress
Nice article in the NYT today about dresses. [Thanks to flea for the heads-up!]
Just because something is difficult, doesn't mean it can't be done ...
The dark side of the dress is fit. No other article of clothing must simultaneously fit so many parts of the body - the bust, the waist, the hips - and also hit the leg at a slimming length.

I would turn that on its head and say: The wonderful side of the dress is fit. No other article of clothing can simultaneously fit so many parts of the body.
In other words: What single article of clothing can do so much with so little?

Don't forget the all-in-one jumpsuit. No other garment must satisfy crotch depth, body length, and arms to fit. Impossible to mass-manufacture and sell! But this is a site about dresses, so I digress.
