Amie knit maxidress in engineered stripe (62529, $110) - Size S - I first put it on like I was intoxicated, all haphazard and goin' on. I really couldn't get the top part to lay right, but I snapped a pic anyway. Of course I love the stripes. Stripesick! However, I usually prefer my stripes to repeat in a pattern one after another, without big bands of breaks like on this dress. Don't deny me my stripe count. I like the contrasting white bands at the bottom, which I didn't pay a ton of attention to while in the fitting room. I was really focused on adjusting the top. It seemed to be a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen. See it on Debye.

Adjusted and looking a little better. Of course you can wear it w/a cardi for more coverage.  The material is very loose & floppy. I would prefer to be able to wear the dress with cardi and sans for the most options. Usually I don't like drawstring waists, but this worked out ok. Pockets!


I would probably wear a leather belt with it so the dress can have a shot of staying in place.

 5'2"

I feel like this dress is on the longer side because of the play you have in the top part of the dress. You tall-ies have some length in the top half and in the bottom half. Don't get too excited, though, because I'm not tall and I don't believe I was tall in a recent past life. I'm only guessing that you'll have some length based on how high I could pull up the the torso portion.

You didn't know you needed orange shoes, didja...


I don't drink right now and probably won't much in the near future, so I wouldn't have any wardrobe malfunctions as a result of inebriation. However, I still don't think you'll catch me in this. I just know I would end up in some viral video on YouTube.

Chime in...

  1. LOL! This was such a great post! I always feel like I'm sitting at your kitchen table talking with you when I read your posts. Love them.

    On to the dress. Thanks for the try on. The contrasting stripes are cool, I like that. Put pockets in a dress and I'm sold.

  2. You are so funny Gigi! It looks better in the second picture but still kind of sloppy. No to this one.
