Duro, Duro, Everywhere

Check this out -- this dress was actually sent to me on a postcard inviting me to a Trina Turk trunk show in Chicago. (The postcard was addressed to "Mr. E." but that's okay.) The site tells me that this dress is called "Siam" and is $278, available in May (and also available in turquoise, but no pictures of that, sadly).

Somehow I feel that by the time I figure out how to make my ideal version of this dress, the whole Duro Olowu moment will be over. I better get crackin'. Good thing I won that pattern I posted the other day -- now if it will only come, say, tomorrow, I can begin to make some progress of one kind or another.

Speaking of progress, with any luck I'll be posting a few interesting things in the next few days, including a DRESS GIVEAWAY CONTEST. Yes, two lucky readers will get a free dress. A hint: the name of the brand giving away the dresses anagrams to "stripe".
