The little white dress S/S 07

[Cindus]

We DO see it every summer, but this summer more than in a long time. And a lot of them are really crisp, not too many embroideries or broderie anglaise, as last year.

But ilaughead has a point - how to wearable are they?!
(I know i would end up looking like a mess if i wore one to a party - just the thought of someone knocking over a drink anywhere near me... The horror!)

Just keep a Tide-to-go pen in your handbag . And as far as being the opposite of slimming, I don't think that's a real problem unless the dres doesn't fit well or isn't made well. Otherwise I think it should still flatter. Especially with bare legs and arms too maybe. THat makes it look slimmer I think. And this is definately a time when tall nude pumps would help with the elongating business.

pink satin / I agree with you completely!


LWDs are my favorite: I've never met one I didn't like. Case and point: I'd wear every dress in this thread All of them offer something different: Marc Jacobs is all ruffles and girly, Stella McCartney is willowy and oversized, Versace is sexy.

The LWDs with lace and/or chiffon have a certain femininity associated with them,. I can see those worn over jeans, leggings, or even under other dresses. Feminine, delicate, flirty!

Antonio Berardi did a few in his s/s 07 collection, all darling.

LOVE this trend!!!

 

[Cindus]

The first two by Luca Luca are really flattering - i love it when dresses have pockets! Wich alsoe seems to be a big trend this season...

And the second one from Antonio Berardi have this shirt-feeling that makes it so wearable!

I have to gorgeus white dresses that I never wear. I feel too cutesy, and I am no fan of cutesy. I don't want to look like a little girl. I have an amazing asymmetric white grecian dress that I have worn once (it's def. for evening). And a babydoll-ish grecian dress for day that I have no idea how to wear. I think I look pregnant in it It's such a shame, it is a very lovely dress.

 

[Bluestar07]

So how wearable are white dresses? White should do exactly the opposite of the slimming black, but can it still work?

I love looking at all the white dress ... so clean and fresh but yes, the wearability is a problem. There's a friend's wedding coming up soon and it's by the beach so a white dress would be perfect. But I imagine spilling red wine on it....

^ Drink white wine.

i love white! i always wear alot spring & summer, like most of you also did. i also like the pockets that have been on alot of dresses. what i dont like about white is that sometimes the material is so pretty, but it's sheer or see-through =/

 

[m4ryb3ar]

i think many details on the lwd this season will be silver, since metallics are also "in"

Oh My GOD!! I have been dreaming of a white dress to wear for a week now. The weather is so hot here, that the only thing I want to wear is LWD, so clean, so flowy, so delicate, so pretty, so soft, so presentable.

Lately I can't get enough of white. Either I'm wanting to get married, subconsciously, or I'm just intent on projecting an image of innocence.



Though I must say, these 'catchphrase' acronyms like LWD drive me insane. I have enough trouble distinguishing little black dress from lesbian bed death already.

I didn't even think of staining! That would be a problem!

 

[TheKiwi]

Every summer, white's in, and every summer I still manage to find about 500 white dresses that I absolutely adore.

^ Drink white wine.

That would be a great solution ... except that I only drink red!

My favorite 'trend'... or staple rather. Chloe never disappoints.

I like this trend a lot too, it was around last year as well. I think white looks incredibly refreshing in winter as well.

A white dress with black accents + black opaques = perfection.

 

[kissmesweet]

^^ Absolutely. Black accents with a simple white dress look great! I love the Marchesa + Chloe ones!

I adore Preen - totally romantic.
White sensation - really Thank you for the pictures , too!
