Feathery-light dress

I found this fabulously fluffy mini-dress last year. It’s very sheer and short and is best worn with a petticoat.

Not long after I discovered it Chanel came out with something a bit like it. Then Louis Vuitton unleashed those gorgeous feathered broderie anglaise dresses (see Kate Moss below in a stunning Marc Jacobs creation).

And here’s some eye-candy from Chanel . . .

I’m still contemplating whether to wear my fluffy delight to a rollerskating party today! It’s my little guy’s first party with his prep buddies. I’m skilled in heels but I don’t want to end up a pile of fluff and frou-frou on the rink! My son has never roller skated, so I’ll have to hold his hand and guide him around. Wish me luck . . . it could get messy.

I love the open weave neckline and the feathery flowers on this dress. The Diva pearl cuff and necklace complement its sheer elegance. The vintage pearl clutch was the finishing touch.
