Belts are hot right now, or so I’ve read. Not the sort of belt that your dad utilizes to hold up his double-knit slacks. I’m talking about thick belts, ribbony belts, chain belts, and belts that don’t even look like belts at all. This dress, by Currie-Bonner, features a thick, contrasting silk tie that, like a belt, defines the waist of the wearer and turns a rather plain floor-length dress into a chic, eye-catching ensemble.
Brides and bridesmaids have four fabrics–Dupioni silk, linen, satin organza, and faille–as well as a host of classic and fun hues to choose from. This dress even comes in a number of shades of white for brides who want a simpler, cleaner look. I’m partial to the ample coverage this dress affords ladies like me, who might not want to show off their entire décolleté area. And whose legs inexplicably maintain their wintertime pastiness all year long.
