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!
