my issue with the butterfly collar is primarily when it has a ridiculous wingspan (this one does not) and it's jutting out of a suit jacket.

this is tres adorable to me. not very seasonal at present, but still, for that price...

Anonymous said...: Good choices. I really like shirtdresses and I know my wife would like these two.

Question: is the sizing that R&D use (looks like bra sizing to me) common? Do you know of other brands that do this? It would solve a constant problem my wife has with tops.

thanks,

Jo - Did you see JLoHewitt at the 27 Dresses premiere? She looked *amazing* - much better choice for her body type. (And the vaguely bridesmaid-y dress actually works, considering the film.) One must ignore the french pedi, though.; January 10, 2008 at 1:36 PM

I noticed the unusual sizing on these dresses. I've never bought one, but it seems like a fantastic way to ensure that the ladies, if large, won't have to deal with the dreaded "keyhole effect".

let me know how it works out!

best,
J

p.s. Teek, thank you for posting your recommendation!; January 10, 2008 at 8:52 PM
