"
Thanks!" to
Heather:D (in
this post) who suggested this dress for a "Love It or Leave It" post. After seeing the pictures, I can understand why! ;) This dress has some very lovely features, but several "
say what?" features as well.

I will say that I love the ruffle front. That particular design is very much like the Teagan Ruffle Swiss-Dot Top (item
99679; was $98.00, now $29.99) that they offered last year. (I love that Teagan top by the way!) With that said, I am not a fan of the fabric, which looks... fuzzy? According to J.Crew, the fabric consists of "
layers of chiffon, organza and soft French tulle".
Second, this dress looks super short on the model. The dress falls "
above knee; 20" from natural waist", which means it would probably fall short on most customers as well. I guess sitting while wearing this dress would be out of the question for me. ;) Also, for $2,000, there should be more fabric. However, the dress does come with "
a garment bag, shipped in a gift box with blue ribbon". ;)

Lastly, I don't know what to say about the bottom portion of the dress. There is
waaay too much going on. Glass beads, sequins AND feathers? As Joey from the t.v. show Blossom would say, "
whoa!"
Overlooking price, this dress is a complete "leave it" for me. There are so many other dresses J.Crew is offering, that I would prefer to wear. :)
What are your thoughts on the Gwen Dress? Do you "love it" or would you "leave it"? Have seen it at a store? If so, please share with us your review. :)
