I got over my fear of the body-conscious silhouette and tried on two black, curve-hugging dresses last week. I always thought you had to be six-feet tall with boy hips to get away with these looks.
But I'm pleased with the way they looked and felt despite their very different styles. I'm especially in love with the stretchy fabric and strategically placed zippers on the second dress, which celebrates curves, instead of smushing them flat.

both dresses: Stine Goya A/W 09; Miu Miu patent booties
Did you happen to notice that in the second picture, the painting behind me fell off the wall? It's actually my favorite shot from the series.
Posting will be a little light in the coming week or two due to some exciting new developments... But look for a new store interview and please enter my 100th post giveaway, which ends this week.
Just three more days until the big 100!!!

LOVE the last dress. It looks amazing on you!
great silhouette on you! I tend to scare away from body con also.
Come on! You're beautiful and have nothing to worry about. Great dresses and I love that the camera caught you looking cool when the picture fell and not the half second after when you probably jumped up in surprise :)
Those side zippers, oh my! I love 'em! :-D
Damn. Thanks for the love, everyone.

amanda: you need those zippers to get into the dress! they're functional.
My favorite is the second dress as well, though both look great on you! I was wondering what was going on with that pic in the background... thought it was some cool effect you managed with your camera!
You look amazing and I love the accidental action shot.
love both dresses..specially one with the long sleeves
thanks for the love girl :)
those dresses are amazing!
those dresses are gorg. i really love the one with the zippers.
You look sexy girl!! I'm not sure I'm feeling the zippers, but I bet they are elongating?
Oh good job, I haven't tried that style yet. It does look good on you!
Hey there, I hope all is well!
I love both dresses AND the booties! ROOOOAR! Very sexy!
Wishing you a sunny and happy day!!

WOWWWW, both dresses are just divine on you--I can't even decide between the two...gorgeous!

Hahahah! That cracks me up! Seriously though, that second dress is elegant and edgy at the same time - something I love.

Both look stunning, but I agree that the zippers are tres chic.
You look great- esp. love the last dress!!

WendyB: Fortunate accidents create opportunities for accidental art.
misslikey: I know. I think I'm addicted to the flattering shape of it. It's also very comfortable!
cuteseas: Looking at the dresses, I'm starting to feel a little less in love with black, though.
thefatandskinnyonfashion: Thanks! :)
MizzJ: Yeah, the zippers were a bit iffy, but I was surprised-- they are actually functional and help you shimmy into the dress.
Eyeliah: I was surprised at how comfortable and flattering it all was!
