This is fashion's ode to string cheese. It looks like a gilded cage. And now I'm imagining her barfing on the floor, or in the sink, as described in the story; it might wipe off the dress, but that's IF it didn't splash through the holes between the cell bars. Oof.

I am not a big Jenna Lyons devotee -- J. Crew's quality went down precipitously while she was there, and while I don't know how much of that is down to any decisions she made, it wasn't as rosy an era as it's often remembered. Having said that, and speaking of rosy, this IS hilarious. I think it's empirically ridiculous, and that the pants are out of whack -- a skinny jean would have balanced the volume? -- but I AM entertained.

This is like... 80 percent lovely, 20 percent screaming out for a second draft.

Ditto, but I'd tweak my proportions in the opposite direction. There's a nice idea here, but it's like she doodled on a beige wedding dress with a highlighter variety pack.

And THIS looks like a wedding dress where you just tear away the peplum and suddenly it's GO TIME.

There is so much optimism at work here.

I am wondering if this is Bibhu Mohapatra, given that he showed up at the party for her. I like to think of it as an artistic fashion interpretation of barfing all over the rainbow room: Everything is going just fine until a DAWNING AWARENESS creeps over you that IT'S ABOUT TO GET STANK.

I also enjoy that it looks like these two dresses are trying to merge.

I find myself wishing her fringe had been black.
