Re: Ponte Tweed Dress: Yay or Nay?

A couple weeks ago I mentioned I had taken a jacket back and got another one.  I took an Antonio Melani jacket back and got a Karl Lagerfeld-Paris tweed.  It just worked better than the one I had originally.

I'm ok with the short sleeves but completely agree with you on the tights and sassy shooties!

The dress is adorable, but I hate ponte anything.

It feels like the cheap seventies polyester stuff they cranked out. It smelled awful, made your skin itch and made you sweat. Call it what you will it's awful stuff.

The chinese won't take our plastic bags anymore so I guess that fabric will go out of style.

I love the dropped waist because I have a long torso.  Would like long sleeves too.  Tweed reminds me of winter.  LM

Yay from me even though I don't wear dresses.  While classic and conservative, it's not same old same old boring.

Re: Ponte Tweed Dress: Yay or Nay?

it's cute, but why is Lagerfeld ripping of his Chanel stuff 

 

some of it looks a bit cheap irl but I guess it sells
