Her agent just called, my manni is starring in the remake of "Boxing Helena" just kidding. For those that haven't seen it, it is a strange film about a legless (and less other things as time goes on) gal

Anyway, I have always seen the technique of showing a circle skirt with the manni's legs off. Hopefully these photos don't look too strange. But it does take the focus off the fact that she is almost 6' and the dress was made for someone of a more realistic height.

How would you market this dress? The print reminds me of a william morris print i had...but colors skewed a little off. It is not really a squaw dress. Its not pink enough to be a "good girl" swing dress. It really doesn't say hell kitten. Its too long to be a square dance dress.

So, yes, I am picking your brain because this one doesn't really fit the mold.

You had to have gotten on a ladder to take those pics!! LOL They are good.

I would definitely say square dance, ethnic, boho, maybe southwestern or mexican, full skirt.
 
but the good thiing is they fit in with a whole lot of 'styles'!

That's the trouble!

Thanks for jogging my brain ladies.

What is throwing it off for me on being mexican/southwestern is the pattern motif. And i usual think of luxe hippie as bohemian... but maybe...

...i'll narrow this one down yet!
 
Boho seems to be the word for the unusual items that the "celebs" are wearing, so I am leaning more in that direction.
