Re. Lace, I have lace dresses from Tadashi Shoji, and find them very flattering. Plus, I'm not the only one.

This particular one is scratchy and I'm not a fan of the racer back type armholes.

Why do the models stand like this? I mean, I'm not wondering how the dress would look if I was leaning back to avoid a bee. I'm wondering how it will look when I am standing normally.

I ordered this dress in blue, which was an amazing color, but like expected, satin is very, very unforgiving.

Linen shifts are hardly figure-flattering.

Talk about baggy, shapeless, and wrinkled. Ugh.

What is a UMC/MC figure?
