3.1 Philip Lim: The Built-In Necklace Dress


3.1 Philip Lim Bi-Color Crepe Dress, $995 at net-a-porter.com
The built-in bra tee has been usurped by the built-in necklace dress, which is far chicer and offers ease in terms of accessories. While I am not a maxi-dress fan (I am short and I don't think short women can pull off this look successfully), I do appreciate the glamorous simplicity of this dress, which, if I were to purchase it, I would mercilessly chop off a third of it. Unlike some, who would wear this as a cocktail look, I'd wear it to a casual dinner or to an (off) off-Broadway play.
