The Magic Dress

I was inspired to buy the dress to the left after reading about it on Miss Puttin' on the G.R.I.T.S' blog. I always try to secretly sneak a peak at her blog while I'm at work, and I get caught every time since I laugh out loud pretty much every time I read! Miss Grits had mentioned all of the compliments that she had received and great things that had happened while she was wearing it and I thought that I needed to try it out for myself!

It was no easy to find this dress - online and every Banana Republic store in the Atlanta area was out of the black one in my size. However, one of the girls at my local BR store checked around for me and found one! And it fit like a glove. The great thing about it is, it's flattering for all kinds of body types. Flat chested (check), big busted, big hips, pear shaped, hour glassed, whatever frame you are- it would work on anyone.

Well, it was totally worth it and Miss Grits was not exaggerating. Good things come to those that wear that dress. I've worn it a couple of times - to my bosses for our Thanksgiving celebration (it expands well) and out for a baby shower (my girlfriends love the ruffles) - and I have only received rave reviews from my friends and admirers alike!

Thanks again for the heads up! And please keep the suggestions coming, Miss Grits! :)

I love this dress! I have been eyeing it, but as I am saving for the Lilly sale have not made it made. Perhaps when I return!

Too funny, I have the dress in the orange color. I have too many dresses in black. I love it, and wished I would have bought it in tan as well when I had the chance.
