Wow That's a Fantastic dress. They captured the fullness quite well in the Photo. I can see how could be confused with a parachute.

I will hurry to London, I see myself already swinging in this dress, lol ! It would be ideal for my shoppings !

Makes me wonder, is there anyone who will really wear that?
But I like the color.

I love the colour but I don't think I could wear it for work! :#

Barb said...

I could never wear that dress; it would clash with my flip flops. =)

You should have used that for Ruby Red, what a volume of dress.

Haute couture always fascinated me, because I wonder, "Who in the heck would actually wear those clothes other than on a fashion runway?"

Hey--that's me in my bathrobe! (Just' kidding! I wish...)

Minkydo said...

That is some dress! A tad impractical. Hey if one can afford it, why not :)
