"Thanks!" to Anon at 12:57 PM (in this post) who pointed out this latest dress offering from J.Crew. I think it makes for a great "love it or leave it" post. :)

Unfortunately, this dress is a "leave it" for me. One reason: price- I think this dress is a *tad* overpriced. ;)

Another reason: versatility. The website describes the dress as "party perfect—the softest grey silk covered in thousands of bright yellow paillettes". I am not sure how "party perfect" the dress really is. I mean if you wear it once everyone will remember, which limits the number of uses. It definitely is not as versatile as the little black dress, which J.Crew offers so many beautiful versions of (click here).

Lastly, the website describes the style as "Sleeveless silhouette. Blouson bodice, straight skirt. Skinny straps. Scoopneck. Back zip. Interior corset for added support". Unfortunatley, I don't think the style of the dress is that flattering, even on the {absolutely gorgeous} model. However, I could be wrong since I have not seen this dress in person.

Incidentally, I do love that J.Crew mentions in the description that the dress is "shipped in a gift box with blue ribbon". It is a nice touch, but definitely not enough to convince me to purchase this dress. ;)

What are your thoughts on the Confetti Flapper Dress? Do you "love it" or would you "leave it"? Do you already own this dress? If so, please share with us your review. :)
