Search for a Perfect Sweater Dress continues…

I like big labels, however, I also never disregard small?�and unknown?�brands in my continuous search?�for?�the perfect combination of style, quality and price. Here’s one example of a great find of the day – a V-neckline sweater dress with pointelle bodice and sleeves from Boston Proper. The brand is unknown, the store just says it’s imported.

The only possible problem with this dress that?�I can see is the pointelle pattern, and specifically, what can be seen through it? For instance, if you want to wear?�just a bra and, let’s say, dark leggings or footless tights underneath, the light skin and then dark tights will create a contrast?�if shown through, making?�the dress look vulgar, rather than elegant. Something to think about…

Look at this sweater: it’s breathtaking! Great knit pattern, color, oriental colar detail… But look closer… three quarter sleeves!

For cold season, when you think of?�a jacket or a coat that has to go above that sweater… quite inconvenient. Also, it ends too short, above the hip line. The overall shrunken look?�of this sweater leaves the uneasy feeling of a laundry went bad. Diane, what happened here?

Sweater Dress – Hot Trend – Fall 2008

New season, old trend (from at least two cold seasons ago) – a?�sweater dress! As much as we all love sweaters, long sweaters, sweater dresses… with leggins, thick tights, lace fashion tights, we all have to admit, you’ve got to have a slim midline to look great in long sweaters and sweater dresses. If you have thick waist, or no waist, or love handles, better stick with empire waist and semifitted clothes.

I love Adrianna Papell‘s Knit Turtleneck Sweater Dress. The price is ridiculous; this is what I call a precious find. Low price for a great looking, good quality, stylish piece.

Adrianna Papell is a 29 year old US brand, mostly known for it’s feminine evening and special occasion dresses. This piece is an exception, a?�pleasant surprise that will win the brand?�lots of fans.
