Old Handkerchief dress brought back?

[ Edited ]

Laughing at the 4:45 fashion.   Looks like a back of the closet clean-out...MB says she loves it but........to me she looks more like the Carol Burnett cleaning lady TV show of years ago.

@fthunt   You're right about the style but I think you mean handkerchief as in hankie.

I will have to say that dress was not at all a good look on MB. I noticed it immediately and had to really wonder about this choice. 😬

Hmm ... they call it a caftan style dress. I'm not loving it.

This is more what I think of for hankerchief dresses. I would wear the one below when I was on vacation and/or at our beach house in the summer.

The skirt is pretty cute and would sell on Sundance with all of the bright colors.

 

I don't think the dress on Mary Beth would sell although, she is beautiful!

The dress is a beautiful color and MB is a beautiful lady....I just don't think this dress is particularly flattering for her.

I am not a fan of the odd hem lines...I prefer straight hems, on tops, skirts and pants.

The stylist's that chose what the host wears does a very poor job in my estimation.  They dont consider how the host looks in it.  Not all fashion looks good on all women.

 

Speaking for myself if I were a host I would refuse to wear some of the outfits they chose, not because of the clothing itself, but the way it would look on my body type.

I thought it looked frumpy and the material seemed thin because druing the presentaion I could see rolls, sorry but I need those to be completely hidden.

That brand, Truth+Style, seems to do those kinds of hemlines. Kirsten had another T+S dress on her show the other day also. Maybe it's just a brand thing and not really something that's coming back in full force.
