LBD by Laura Bennett



What say you? Is this dress (eh hem polyester) worth $109? I love the style. I love that it has sleeves. I wish she took the v-neck as deeply as she normally wears. I love that it comes with the Boucheron-esque buckle that Laura wears. But it's polyester. Am I just a snob?

I hear you on the polyester -- I avoid it like the plague! Maybe that makes me a snob, too, but I refuse to pay that much for a dress if it's made of that kind of synthetic material. I guess I get that from my mother! I can't exactly afford the fancy, excellent-quality stuff, but if I can get something on sale in a beautiful fabric, I prefer it a million times over wasting money on anything polyester.

Great cut, though -- it's tempting!

I bought this dress - I was actually excited by the fact it's washable (I have a 2 year old) - but it isn't cut the way you see it in all the pictures.

There is no shaping to the back at all. it falls straight from the shoulders to the hem - taking a bumpy ride over the derriere.

Not at all flattering. I'm a 12 and it made me look like I was wearing a big bag.

Is that one of those fashion trends I'm missing? :)
