Drop waist dresses are a favorite of mine.  It’s probably because being on the shorter side, the design tends to elongate my frame.  So far my favorite drop waist design of all time was this beauty — that’s the dress that sealed the deal.   So when I saw the lace number I’m wearing today, I knew it had to be mine.  From the neckline to the waist detail, I couldn’t have designed it more perfectly for myself.  I’ll be wearing this dress till next winter.  And probably even longer!  This past weekend, I took it out on its maiden voyage on our Valentine’s Day date.  I might have been freezing but it didn’t matter.  #nopainnogain
