bright dress big city
The look of luxe.
Luscious “cinder” color.
Silk/Cotton blend.
Pro design & construction.
3.1 Phillip Lim dress purchased at Last Call for $51.
Retail : $695, so like 93% savings!!
This is the most (originally) expensive thing I’ve ever had in my closet.
Let’s discuss.
If I was ever in a position to actually spend $700 on ONE clothing item,
at that price point - it would have to be perfect.
Don’t get me wrong, this dress is a lucky, gorgeous steal.
BUT.
An easy-to-hide sewing error :
(which, I assume, is why it ended up at Last Call)
And I’d prefer a few extra inches :
If the collar were creatively detachable, so I could style it several ways,
that would be nice, too.
To recap…
$50 : super score!!
$700 : not for this girl.
(It’s fair to critique something with a $695 price tag, right?)
