A llittle bit of Audrey

For small girls such as myself the slash or boat neck dress or top is very elongating and flattering, and, especially when teamed with three-quarter length sleeves, gives a Hepburn-esque instant class injection to a look. Here's one from French Connection, currently on ASOS for about 47 euros and on Ebay currently being auctioned for about 3 euros!

or this Karen Millen number below, http://www.designerdressesuk.com/ from £99.99 or Ebay from as little as 112 euros...



I'm not a giant Karen Millen fan, she tends to lean dangerously towards the "mutton dressed as lamb" brigade but she definitely makes clothes to flatter the (normal) female figure.
This is a Gucci boat neck dress below, over the 2k mark so it's never gonna happen.... it manages to give a nod to both the 20s trend with the dropped-waist effect and the 70s with the colours used. And I love it....

More on dropped waists tomorrow....
