Happy Monday!!
What I’m wearing:
James Perse racerback dress in Porcupine: a lot of you seem to like this dress – in this color specifically – so here it is on me. I actually have a hard time with this dress, I had it altered to shorten the straps because I think I’m just too short in the torso for this dress. It still doesn’t fit exactly like I’d like it too; I think if I could cut it in the middle and remove a few inches and sew it back together and there would be no seam, I would do that…but even my super-fabulous tailor can’t do that! The best way I can explain it is that this dress hits me at the hip where it should be hitting me at the waist. The a-line shape is starting at the hip instead of the waist on me, which is why it looks “off.” Anyway, I still like it and will wear it, but that’s been my struggle with this particular dress.
i haven’t worn my black JP long racerback dress yet…i just might this week! i know what you mean about the fit – it drapes so there’s a little slouch in the waist area. maybe play around with a belt to see how it affects the fit?

oh, i want to see how you style the dress! a belt is an interesting idea, but i’m not sure it would work. i’d have to bunch up the dress too much i think…i’ll try though 🙂
