Is that print Starry Starry Night? They should have found a nice cotton lawn with an allover ear print to use instead of the navy.

I'm not wild about orange gingham unless you're Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz on drugs. A silk loud orange camouflage print would be snazzy though.

I actually really like this one. The print immediately reminds me of Seurat; and although I've always liked navy, I've never looked very good in it. But the older I get the better it seems to suit me ("thanks" to my prematurely-greying hair!). I'm guessing that you'd have to dry-clean this one to keep the two fabrics from srinking/stretching to different degrees and ruining the flow of the dress. (And I'm vehemently anti-dry-cleaning-required-clothing.) But hey, if I were rich or if it were a gift, I'd wear it at least once a week all summer long!

Yeah, $415 is certainly a little steep. How much is the Duro dress? And I'm hoping that they've only sold out of the other sizes...

la belladonna! Thank you for my first good laugh of the day!I really like the looks of this dress, but I don't like the mix of fabrics. I think even with dry cleaning there'd be problems with the contrasting materials. I'd like it better all silk -- not that I'm spending $415 bucks on it.

I loooove this. I am currently trying to draft a simliar pattern (not that i've ever drafted a pattern before) in a sleveless style. I dont mind the contrasting fabrics but I think I am in the minority here...

Two years later and this is still a great dress. I would never mix such different weight materials on a dress, but the colors work.
