_5380779.jpgSo playful, so odd - I just had to share! I don't see anthing 'french court' about this short-alls looking mini bubble dress...unless this is supposed to be a shift? The scullery maid's battered, make-shift but trendy flour-sack outfit? Sure turned out terribly cute, whatever the inspiration was! The ruffling and pleating at the bodice, drawn close by that center ribbon is purely a stroke of genius - it incorporates versatile fit with style, with a unique quirkiness, with that bust-enhancing effect I need so much in my wardrobe! Beautiful. Nanette Lepore 'French Court' Dress: US$176, down from US$295. Available in brown and ivory.
