I love the piggy clutch! I just got these shoes: http://www.shoes.com/Shopping/ProductDetails.aspx?p=EC1184515&pg=5108784&icid=gnd

And I really want to put together an outfit with a lot of spunk that can be worn in cold weather around these shoes plus a beige trench coat. Any ideas, Making it Lovely readers?

By the way, is there a forum somewhere on the web, where I can do just this: post an item that I just bought and ask for advice in putting together an outfit around it?

I have to agree – this dress stopped me in my tracks. If this is what LDS fashion is all about, count me in!

HAHA! I didn’t even think about breast feeding when I made this dress but that’s totally true *happy dance*

All 6 of those buttons are fully functional, I’m obsessed with buttons being functional and bows/ties actually working. It’s so good that my OCD tendencies work out for nursing mothers.

Now I’m going to keep that in mind for future lines too, I’ll have to like include a nursing friendly option in every line!

I’m really glad to hear that this is what you like about the dress! I myself am 5’8″ (which isn’t super tall but it’s enough to mean shirts are too short) and so when I was making the pattern tried really hard to keep all body shapes in mind.

Ya know as the designer of the dress, reading all these comments about loving the dress is going to give me a big head once I stop blushing from delight.

I definitely understand your concern, the dress that looks the best from the ‘Manhattan line’ by Shabby Apple (my line) is the Fifth Ave (Though the Upper East side looks pretty hot on me too.) I totally would love in the future to feature them on a plus size model that’s a great suggestion.

I myself am a size 20, which is the one and only reason I insisted on the dresses going up to plus sizes. I have a heavier bottom half than top half, and the Fifth Ave really slims you with that pencil skirt silhouette.
