This is all over the place. In that almost good way. Shoes? Kind of Bing Crosby. I also love that it has Velcro panels for hanging stray socks until you find their mates.
Um, huh….well. Yeah, I’d be mad too.
Ladies, lets put our bodice trays in the upright position, we are preparing for take off.
These next bust darts are for you, Mrs Mole:
Back in 9th grade I used to buy this foundation color. Not so good.
I like- unless you tell me the fringe is coming from her tail or something.
Is it backwards, or does she just wish she were walking away?

Pretty Grievances 
Darts? For me? Surely not…they certainly violate the “no-fly” zone of ending way away from the nipples! The “foundation” outfit with the cool jacket and side zippers…way cool…the rest could pass with some lining in the bust area. The belt…what are those metal ovals called..gaucho somethings? That poor girl wearing her dress backwards…wonder what the front looks like? That candy corn sheer blouse and scarf are definitely keepers!

Is it because they darted a fabric that is area rug thickness?

Perhaps but they are so much lower than the model’s boobs. On a normal person they might be OK if shortened. It could be a cool top if it were a bit longer.

OMG! They need to add a required course to designer school: Linings 101.

As often as designers show see through blouses with no bra, I wonder why it has never taken off? 😉

I like the shape of the black pants and black skirt, but everything else is meh. The shoes look huge on the models’ feet – perhaps its the contrast with their skinny ankles?

The chiffon-y pieces are kind of interesting, but seriously, designers…the no lining look is NEVER going to fly. OK, maybe Miley Cyrus or someone similarly classy, but just stop already. The shoes? WOOF. It’s like they were designed to look overly wide and dorkish on the models’ feet. I don’t know, maybe there was a big sale…
That chiffon print is pretty in the right hands…but the rest? MEH.

I think the shoes are actually Men’s shoes, look at the width of them. Speaking as a wearer of UK size 9, no thankyou! My feet look quite big enough all on their own.

I had a friend in high school that was from Ukraine, and she said it wasn’t at all unusual to see someone walking down the street in Kiev wearing a sheer blouse like that with no bra under it…and no one batted an eye! So coming from that background she thought America’s obsession with naked breasts was very odd.

I could deal with the sheerness if it wasnt an ugly top! Maybe….i am a little prudey, I suppose!
