Before I extol the virtues of this gorgeous dress, can we discuss its price? $525! In this world of markups, it’s practically a bargain for a designer label. One look at this dress and I’m already longing for the arrival of spring and garden parties in the Hamptons. Thakoon is nothing if not a terrific manipulator of prints–and this dress certainly proves so. It’s simple geometric pattern of interconnected squares is undergoes a metamorphosis thanks to the delicate gathering at the waist (note how it gracefully skims the back as well). This A-line cut will complement almost all body shapes while the feminine scoop neck reveals just enough skin to remain safe for strolls down Park Avenue. For an alternative to the LWD this summer, this is, as Martha Stewart would say, a good thing.
$525, available at Kirna Zabête
