A Beautiful Bubble Dress

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 19:29:21 +0000

Next to the peplum dress, a bubble silhouette just might be one of the most challenging shapes to pull off. This number (Buy Direct), designed by BCBG, is possibly the most flattering version of the whimsical dress we've seen. The ruched hem and twisted bandeau bodice look sophisticated, while the bright pink color is beyond pretty. Pair it with metallic heels and you're set for homecoming!
