I have to admit, I can have a bit of a problem with Missoni -- some of their knits are just too close to the 70s for me to be comfortable -- but this dress reminds me of their best qualities, hip and funky without trying too hard.

The pattern is cool and works on a pregnant body (hey, some stripes remind me of a circus tent in my last trimester). It's cut close, but the gathered sleeves have just enough volume that you don't look like a sausage bursting out of its casing. The very best part? Childish dresses are normally well north of $100 retail. This is a sweet, special deal for a date with dad to be!
