Elie Tahari is one of my favorite designers. There are a couple reasons for that: his clothing fits my body well, his styles fit my lifestyle, and — this is really important — the fashion fits my budget.
As I was browsing for summer clothes idea, I came across this Briar (also called khaki) dress with eyelet trim. It has a caftan neckline, with beading and a tie detail.
I’m not a big eyelet fan, because while it always looks light and summery, it usually looks a little too "little girl-ish" on me. This dress, however, really caught my eye. It may be a little short for me to wear as a dress, but it would be a dynamite swimsuit or beach cover up. It’s made of linen, so the wrinkle factor makes me a little nervous, and at $329 it’s not an inexpensive options. Still. . . it has me thinking.
The Devon Eyelet Dress comes in sizes X-Small (2-4), Medium (8-10), Large (10-12) and X-Large (14), and is available online, through Elie Tahari stores, or upscale department stores (check locations here).
