BCBG Chocolate Applique Dress

I found this dress last year around spring time and haven’t been able to find the picture to blog about it until now.  I instantly liked it because it was chocolate brown, has tons of pleats, and a flower applique. there’s just something about flower appliqués that attract me.  The dress also has a lot of unique pleating on the bodice, the fringes, the hems, and the skirt.  It creates a lot of shapes when you wear it.

The belt is velvet.  The back is low and the cut is more pencil skirt instead of the typical Aline.  It’s definitely a grown up dress.  But what I love most about it is that it’s classy.

The big let down (depending on how you look at it)?  It’s low cut at the front so prepare to show whatever you’ve got (or don’t … um… got). So it’s not very flattering for very non-endowed females (pardon the pun), and it’s pretty showy for the well endowed.  The good news is that you can always find something to put underneath, which is what I did.  I wore something pink to cover the cleavage, then wore pink Nine West pumps, with a pink purse.

Overall, I still like the dress and still wear it to weddings.
