Loose dresses S/S 06

[Kimkhuu]

It's been a trend for a while now.... time for it to hit the mainstream crowd even harder next summer...

Like it or not?
Do you think it's flattering? Or is it simply unwearable?

I really like the first one you posted the balenciaga; I think because it's quite structural. But the rest don't do anything for me a bit nothingy and sackish.

Thanks for posting Kim

A lot of people hate it but if you have the right body, lean and thin and a quirky attitude, it works. Kirsten Dunst loves it and pulls it off perfectly.

And MK Olsen did it great.

I think they don't suit many people, but I like this kind of dresses, when they are not too baggy.
The Miu Miu ones are really cute (maybe because they are not that baggy, but they're enough for me)

gotta have a real nice bod

it depends...i guess i like a more loose fit, instead of "baggy."

but the Balenciaga examples are nice, since they have more structure. the Preen ones, too.

i like the Balenciaga dresses they seem more structured rather than 'baggy' imo

i think these dresses only have the potential to look good on model bodies on the catwalk and would look terrible on the general masses.

but all in all i can still see it becoming a trend though since the highstreet likes to interperate alot of catwalk looks.

It looks lovely but I could never wear that.. I assume you have to be really thin to look good in those dressesm otherwise you might end up looking like a potato...

At least I know I would

i love this trend! i would gladly wear these dressess. it think it is very flattering for those of us who can't wear pencil skirts

I can't wear pencil skirts. Seriously look like an inverted triangle. But I love 'oversized' dresses, I don't think of them as baggy. Personally I love playing with proportions and believe anything can look good on anybody. I think the more structural dresses do tend to look better on a longer body but you just need to find a style that is right. For s/s 06 i really want some oversized muslin/cheesecloth sort of dresses.

I love the Chloe dresses. I would wear them,but I'm afraid I will end up looking like Mr.Potato head. I predit that after 'Factory Girl' comes out,lots of people will be wearing these. Sienna wore a green Chloe dress on the cover of Vogue and Burberry baggy type coat in the editorial.

SWL, I agree. Once that movie comes out...it'll be all over.

 

[masquerade]

ugh no. the olsens and lohan have already done it, and im sure nicole ritchie has done it or will do it, and nothing turns me off from a style more then those girls wearing something

 

[Kimkhuu]

I like baggy dresses that are shaped like the Preen ones, not the Chloe ones...

I am pretty sure this is going to be a major trend... this + opaque or sheer tights.... With the high street labels copying any $$$ trend, this is soon going to turn into a nightmare....

I love this , especially it it's a bit dolllish/childish.

Mary Kate's dress is Miss Davenporte.

Hot Frock
Global

If autumn's It dress is that Hitchcockian number from Roland Mouret, the coming spring will see a different silhouette: several designers are proposing a baby doll-meets-muumuu shape as the must-acquire dress of the season.

This is not your grandmother's duster. The soon-to-be hot baby doll/muumuu is cut about the knee, is oversized so that it slips suggestively off the shoulder, and looks right for St. Barts, Bali, and everywhere in between. The look is slightly lascivious and deliberately coquettish.

Tsumori Chisato's extremely strong marine themed spring collection delivered some of the best examples of the hot frock: she offered a plunging, button-down version in white; others were color-blocked, one came peach and puffy-sleeved with multi-hued triangles, and yet another variety was in coral reef tints with many cascading layers. The dress appeared with splendid proportions at Prada, who concocted perfect waistless shirt-dresses. At Miu Miu it turned dainty and tough in crinkled metallic gold and igneous fabrications, resulting in in voluminous proportions and Lolita-like. Marni did it up as romantic bohemian, decorated with magpie adornments of wooden discs, beads, and jet-black sequins.

Anna Sui plundered Claude Monet's Giverny garden for inspiration, plucking leaves and petals for her prints, while flowers with crocheted detailing burst from her baby-doll dress. At Sonia Rykiel, the dress came in a smashing red with a heavy, ruffled neckline; Marc by Marc Jacobs injected a subtle hint of Courtney Love's angst-ridden "kinderwhore," replete with disheveled hair, a black wristband, and leggings. Elsewhere, a quiet, ecclesiastical innocence was pervasive. Chloé's version was sparingly accessorized but meticulously detailed; precise volumes in black and white radiated a Zurbaran-like reverence to piety. This mood was also captured by the nubile countenance of Natalia Vodianova in sheer white at Calvin Klein.

If some designers are striving for obvious prettiness with a twist, then the hyper volumes and obese proportions seen at Moschino, Wunderkind, and Bernard Wilhelm tipped the scales into the beautiful avant-garde.

Celebrity stylist Wouri Vice chimes in: "even though I hate to admit this, I think this granny's house coat look will catch on for sure. It hides shape whether you are big or small. And there is still a splash of color so they feel sexy and feminine. But I pray this trend doesn't last long."

The total look for spring? '60s in length, sack-like in proportion, and a sex appeal you're required to bring to the party.

it's easy to get away with this look if you have narrow shoulders, flat chest, and thin legs relative to your size. although i'm thin, i think my shoulders are too wide for me to wear these big dresses. i would never wear these if i had a large chest...
