^Agreed, that dress is gorgeous. Definitely some of that military influence with the sleeves. I think we'll be seeing a lot more of that especially in the mainstream fashion. I'm not too excited about the Victorian influence. It just seems that the lady like look has been done for a while now and this will just make the look even more tired. I'm ready for some fresh new looks, more modern. I love the look at the top of this page (post #61) . It also has those military shoulders. As far as black goes, I think it will be paired with rich, dark hues. Like the teals, reds etc. The one think I really don't want to see is the lace, ugh. I thought that was big a couple years ago??
