| Rodarte Dresses Now Go Up to Size 4XL - ELLE.com Posted: 12 Apr 2019 02:17 PM PDT  Ronan McKenzie for Universal Standard Who gets to look like a fantasy? It's a contentious question for fashion, a realm where exclusion and power are often seamed together, and "beauty" becomes defined by limitations instead of ideals. That's why today's kind of exciting. It marks the launch of Rodarte x Universal Standard, a collaboration that merges floaty fantasia with practical fits for every body, from XXS to 4XL. There are cascading skirts in fluttery fabrics, drawstring gowns, and blouses with sleeves more dramatic than Grey's Anatomy.  Universal Standard
 Universal Standard Prices range from $150 to $240, with georgette and organza as the main materials. "In terms of fabrics, this is the real deal," Waldman says. "It's a Rodarte piece, and you have to take care of it accordingly." That means dry cleaning... but also pairing with cowboy boots, sneakers, or even over jeans if you want. "We get that owning Rodarte is rare and special," Walkdman notes, "So our mission was to get the maximum amount of wear out of each piece. How can you style it in multiple ways? What else can you layer?"  Universal Standard For inspiration, the brands recruited models Tess McMillan and Enam Asiama, plus photographer Ronan McKenzie, on a road trip through Palm Springs, California. "[Larger women] are so used to being seen in catalogs, not fashion spreads," says Waldman. "But size inclusion can be done, and it should be done. I mean, why can't we let people shop their taste, not their size? We need to change that." And they are. Shop Rodarte x Universal Standard     |

| Prom Dresses Wanted for Third-Annual Prom Dress Extravaganza - County 17 Posted: 12 Apr 2019 04:03 PM PDT  Ask any woman and she's probably still got an old prom dress laying around or stuffed in a closet somewhere, and here's an opportunity to put it to good use. Now in its third year, the Prom Dress Extravaganza, sponsored by ANB Bank, is scheduled for Saturday, April 20 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. It's a day when high school girls line up to pick the dress of their dreams at no cost. Branch Manager Rachel Pherson said although dresses and formal wear can be donated up to the day of prom, which is May 4 this year, no dresses can leave the pop-up dress store at the bank until the April 20 event. According to Pherson, dressing rooms will be set up, music will be playing, and light refreshments will be served. Anyone looking for a prom dress is welcome. Bear's Naturally Clean also donates a dry cleaning for each donated dress before the prom. The Prom Dress Extravaganza is designed to work like a revolving door; need a prom dress, get a prom dress, wear it on your big night, and then pay it forward by returning it, so someone else can enjoy it the following year. ANB Bank is still in need of prom dresses, jewelry, shoes – basically anything that can be worn to prom. Donations can be dropped off during business hours at ANB Bank, located at 800 E. Seventh St. Leave a comment |
| 21 Floral Midi Dresses That Will Put You in the Mood to Prance Through a Meadow - Fashionista Posted: 11 Apr 2019 06:00 AM PDT Florals for spring may not be groundbreaking, but it's surely breathtaking.  Floral midi dresses. Photo: Imaxtree Last year during fashion month, the Spring 2018 runways casted out the season's signature florals and replaced it with tropical prints — an understandable move, given everyone's eagerness for a vacation during the summer months. But I, for one, am calling for an end to the florals-in-spring embargo. Florals for spring isn't a cliche — it's intuitive. Think about it: It's the first time the sun has likely hit any part of your skin below the neck in months, the sun is shining, birds are chirping and flowers are finally back in full bloom. It makes sense to want to commemorate those indescribably beautiful first few weeks of spring with something that's so symbolic of renewed life. And the floral print seems to reach its maximum potential when scattered across a breezy dress with that perfect right-after-your-knees length that harkens a whimsical walk in the park or a lazy brunch out on a patio or a quiet summer Friday at work. From the quirky and fun ASOS Design Fringe Cami Midi Dress to the ethereal East Order Ry Midi Dress, the case for floral midi dresses has been made in the gallery below.
