I am a simple kinda girl with an athletic body type. I knew I wanted a strapless dress that showed off my shoulders but that wasn't overly girly. I tried on so many different styles from Amy Kuschel, and boutiques in town, but they just didn't quite fit. Then I went to the JCrew store in NYC and tried on this simple, classic cotton cady dress and I fell in love. the description from JCrew is as follows:
Elegant and absolutely timeless in crisp cotton cady, this strapless gown features a flattering fitted bodice detailed with radiating pleats. The simplicity of the silhouette is perfect for piling on statement jewels—but also speaks for itself on its own. It's finished with discreet side pockets to keep lipstick and tissues close at hand and an interior corset for added support and a comfortable, perfectly secure fit. Straight silhouette. Fitted bodice with interior corset for added support. Falls to floor, 66" from high point of shoulder (based off size 6). Cotton cady. Back zip with covered buttons. On-seam pockets. Lined in silk habotai. Dry clean. Import. Online only.
