Wait a few months (or weeks) and Zara will have a great knockoff. They are all about the dress with the front-pockets right now.

I must say, I don't like this dress. It looks "jailbird-lady clown" to me because of the stripe-ruffle combo. Although even in a solid color, I think it would still look a bit frumpy even with proper accessorizing.

lady reporter-

I respectfully disagree on all fronts, but I'm guessing you're not much of a ruffle person if you think this dress looks the least bit clown-ish or frumpy -- or if you think it needs accessorizing of any sort! Pearl studs, a simple black patent round-toe stiletto and you'd be good to go. It's such a beautiful showpiece dress (the cut, the pattern, the pockets), I wouldn't dare muck it up with extraneous accessories.

but we can always agree to disagree...

johanna,

Clearly I should have given some examples of proper accessorizing before any allusions to "extraneous accessories" came out. I thought I made myself clear when I described the dress as clown-like that I would definitely never endorse any sort of overaccessorized look. Believe me, the dress, in my opinion, is more than enough. I don't dislike ruffles, I just don't like this dress.

But that's just me. Fashion, like beauty, is often in the eye of the beholder.

Until the next fashion debate,

lady reporter-

sorry, I think my reply came off a lot more biting than I meant it to...of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I'm glad you spoke up and offered your opinion. I get far too little of that on this site!

best,
Johanna
