I’ve been on the hunt for a solid black maxi dress since sometime last summer, but hadn’t found “the one.” The FP Sleeveless Wonder Wong Dress was my first attempt in 2011. Well, it most definitely did not work out for me. It was HORRID. Horrid as in, I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing it in public. It hung off me & made me look like one giant, black blob. I wasn’t planning on posting any pictures of it, but since I’m talking about it I’ll give you a little looksee.
Yeeeeaaaah. Yuck!
So, the search had to go on. I headed over to ShopStyle & began to sift through pages of black maxi dresses. I checked out several, but nothing I felt the urge to buy. Then I saw the Elle™ Ruffle Maxi from Kohl’s.
I really liked the little ruffle at the bust & I really, really liked the price of $41.99 (on sale from $60), so I decided to give it a shot. I had no idea I’d fall madly in love!
The best part of all? No hemming required! Being 5’4”ish, that NEVER happens!
Overall, I’m VERY happy with this purchase. It’s a bit heavier than I expected, but I don’t think I’ll overheat when I wear it in Nawlins. That reminds me, it will be perfect for packing… no wrinkles! Ahhh, could this dress be any more perfect?!
