I purchased this dress on my last trip to Cleveland, picked from the rack based solely on the print: a dreamy melange of amorphous naked lady-blobs draped in orange cloth. Once I'd slipped it on, the fit, collar, cuffs, and billions of buttons sealed the deal. While I generally avoid polyester these days, exceptions can be made for the truly exceptional, in this case perfect colors, cut, and a print hinting at nudity.
