The Long White Gown Takes It's Place In The Pantheon Of Fashion
Here's the alternative to the little black dress (LBD) that we've all been married to for so long. This is the Long White Gown (LWG). This particular example is an entry from Chris Benz, a designer from the Parsons School of Design and ex the houses of J. Crew and Marc Jacobs. The background comes to the fore with this classic Tee Shirt Gown. Shopbop's fashion editor talks of it in these terms "This dress is a great example of creating the fine-lingerie look without wearing a bra over your shirt. It has the soft, drapey, lingerie elements that say sexy without screaming it." This floor-length wool dress by Chris Benz and features a wide crew neck and blouson bodice. Darting at bust and pleating at neck. Hidden back zip. Flounce hem. Short sleeves. Lined. 60" long, measured from center back. Fabrication: Gauze. Shell: 100% wool. Lining: 100% silk. This long dress is destined to become a known and noted classic. It can be seen at shopbop style # CBENZ20108. This is an extremely worthy addition to this winter's wardrobe and is priced at $1,495.
