    Vivienne Westwood Anglomania drape dress

    L_548675

    via mywardrobe.com

    You're not necessarily going to be believe me when I tell you that this is the most flattering dress imaginable if you have a bust and a bottom. 'No!' you cry, all body dysmorphically, 'Have you gone mad? I must wear caftans and tents and other clothes of shame, for in my head I am elephantine. Away! Away with the clingy!'. I'll kindly tell you anyway. It's the cut, innit. It does that thing that dresses do in your dreams, of clinging to the good bits and 'skimming', I believe is the term, over the more gruesome parts. Obviously, it helps to wear Pants of Steel if you like your dinners. But: it looks great and it's comfortable, what with being made of jersey. It comes in other colours, like black, and in a woollier fabric. It's chic but has a little edge; it's sexy. It wouldn't look that good if you were flat-chested and straight up-and-down - and there's a sentence you don't hear very often. It's the Dress of Joy (as is Westwood's entire Anglomania collection, which I believe is looked after by her husband, Andreas Kronthaler).

  • India Knight's Space

    I write books, and things for The Sunday Times. But I wanted a place to stick other stuff I like, and Posterous is unbelievably easy to set up. So here we are. Yet another work-avoidance strategy by me. You can follow me on Twitter, too - I'm @indiaknight. I know, right? The interwebs: where the fun never ends.
