This dress will serve as two on Tim Gunn's list of essentials - the LBD and Day dress quotient. Anything made by Narciso Rodriguez deserves a place on your closet! He designs for women and knows how to flatter our figures. This dress is far from just a black dress; the shawl collar is a feminine detail as well as the ruching at the bust line and the wide empire waist. The A line shape is sleek enough to skim over the hips and the pockets add a fun touch.
