I am totally crushing on Monif C’s new red ruffle dress. Woot, woot! 
Ruffles are hot and so is this color. Love it. What are the chances that it will go on sale before the wedding in June. I know, not likely.
The “Elaine” Ruffle Sleeve Frock comes in sizes 14/16 – 22/24 for $198. It also comes in white which is equally as fabulous. They are preordering for shipping June 5th.

The Nina Dress is a pretty ruffle dress in eggplant from Making It Big. This machine washable dress has just the right amount of length on both the hem and the sleeves. All it needs is a belt to finish it off. I love the look of the brown boots but it would look equally…
I absolutely love dots. Big dots and little dots like the one decorating the “cowbird” dress from Carmakoma. It is a bit pricey at $124 but it is so cute. Love it with or without the leggings and with or without the obi belt. I would like to see it opened a little more, white…
Almost every shop has their version of the little black dress but very few actually give you some visual ideas on how to wear it. The Lola dress is the perfect canvas for many great looks like these four suggestions from SwakDesigns: What I like about the Lola Dress I love skater style dresses with…
I can really appreciate accent patterns. There is something to be said for being a minimalist. Accent patterns are visually stimulating without being over powering and they give a little hint of excitement below the surface. What do I consider an accent pattern? Anything that provides a touch of contrast on an otherwise solid shade…

I have mixed feelings about Monif C. but I do really like this dress. One of my big design concerns is how many plus designers are putting ruffles over the front making big chests seem almost clownlike on larger busted women. On this dress, though, they put the ruffles in exactly the right place – so it works really well. Good pick!
