I find the 1-shoulder dress terribly difficult to wear, which is probably the reason my favourite is the Carolina Herrera. (Are you sure the light blue is Temperley? I thought I saw this dress in an Michael Kors' ad, but I might be confused, or they are just very similar). x
Im in search of a cocktail dress and this post gave me some ideas. Thanks!
Time to bare some shoulders... love asymmetry! xoxo
the 2nd dress is so pretty!!!
Hello CC darling!
Adore that Carolina Herrera olive green~ perfect with mustard or maroon heels!
xo*
I love anything with asymmetry! So flattering to every woman and so individual! Great post...xo
Oh I've noticed that the right asymmetric dress can do wonders to one's body! Great picks, Carrie!
Love that first blue & black dress and also the Rachel Roy!!!
Thanks so much for the comment on my blog Carrie! It made my day because I am a huge huge fan of you! HUGE!!! much love! xoxoxo
Obsessed with the Chanel couture gown and that Phillip Lim sequined asymmetric silk dress needs a New Year's Eve Party/Fergie moment!

-He approves
A BIG WOOOOW to the Chanel Couture dress!!!
Holy Moly ;)
Lovely drapes, Lovely candy colors....
This is so amazing !! Great designs !!
Hands down....ARMANI wins my vote!!!
Have a wonderful day pretty lady.
Ooh, ooh, ooh! You feartured three of my favorite dresses - the Chanel couture dress, the Donna Karan olive green dress and that stunning Armani Privé dress at the very top of your post. So divine!!!!!!!!!!
You're killing me with these posts!
So glad Herve Ledger finally sorted out a way to make that fabulous bandage dress without the bandages looking like unflattering horizontal stripes! Asymitrical Bandage dress takes it to a whole new level and just made him a genius in my book! So simple yet so chic!
What a beautiful blog you keep here...
I don't know where all those designers are based, but today's post does have that all-American pared-down look.
American fashion looks very "wearable" but tends to be ... well, not that adventurous... know what I mean?
Another fantastic post! I love the asymmetrical blue hair in the first picture.
Such a stunning idea for a post, CC - I am incapable of resisting asymmetrical anything. Chanel Couture - hello darling!! :)
Love this trend. Much better than the one leg trend that tried to get going!
loving all of them
Yes, Awesome!
Asymmetry is not for everyone but, it is definitely made for me.
It really is, I do love one shoulder pieces! I need to wear my pieces like that too!
The Alexander McQueen mini dress is spectacular! I love the colour combination along with the assymmetric detailing and long sleeve.
I never liked asymmetry in clothes ... never wore asymmetric clothes!
Chanel Chanel Chanel!

The Chanel couture was just amazing!

so in love with all of these dresses! great post! xo
Asymmetry is a great look on dresses. I love the Valentino and Chanel ones.
Breathtaking selection! Adore asymetry, definetely McQueen and Herve Leger dresses are my favorites.
I have been obsessing over a-symmetry ever since Lea Michele rocked that gorgeous Grammy's dress!
Chanel and CAQvalli are my favourites. This is one look which looks equally good short and long
lovely set! Roland Mouret jersey dress is my fav!
I bought an asymetric dress for my mothers wedding! I can email a picture to show you, since I'm don't posting it on my blog untill the big day (3th march)

CC I just adore so many of these dresses, but I have to say I LOVE the Giambattista Valli!! Its stunning!! hope you are having a fabulous day!!
The Chanel couture collection is so lovely *sighs dreamily*
In love with the Oscar de la Renta concoction of gorgeousness.
Florrie x
wow i love just about all of those dresses...hard to pick just one favorite...but i think the Giambattista Valli one tops my list!
faBULOUS FABULOUS FABULOUS X
I love the structured look of these garments...and I love how ironic some of them are bc they are so fun and colorful and whimsical.
Love all these looks!
love this trend...it makes a woman look sexier!
These dresses are all so amazingly gorgeous!! It's hard to choose a fave but I'd have to say I love the last one (the purple Rodriguez one) the best. The color is stunning and I love the ruffles!
There are way too many gorgeous picks here to choose just one as my fav! Asymmetry was all over the red carpets this season, and I'm sure it will be in the stores soon as well!
Chanel! dying. I need to go work on my shoulders!! :)
How is it that I don't own a one-shouldered dress? That must be fixed because these dresses are gorgeous!
I love the simple gold sequined dress...for it's, well, simplicity with a dash of glam!
I'm dying for the McQueen dress. I love the asymmetrical shoulder look.
LOVE the black one-shoulder lacey/pathcwork dress! I would so rock that!!

I was seeing lots of the one shoulder early winter, actually. That Acne dress is really cool, I could see it on Blake Lively.
That chanel couture piece is breathakingly gorgeous!
Wow!! This is the best selection of dresses! Thought I could pick a favorite but there are too many that I would love to have!
a really great post. u do am anmazing job with your blog consistantly.

love it especially the armani and chanel!

darling, your guest post is up! xo
These asymmetrical looks are fantastic! I love the one-shoulder look, definitely adds something new to a look.
Love this look, very slimming!
Now here is a trend that I can relate to. I have always found something rather unnatural about perfect symmetry. These dresses do such wonders for the female form. I have a couple of them, and I always feel so good about wearing them. It's a bit tricky to accessorize them just right, though.
Gorgeous! I love the Grecian inspiration behind the asymmetrical designs. The Couture versions are of course phenomenal, but I also like the light Oscar de la Renta one and the more edgy Preen piece!
Interesting post... Some of these dresses are so beautiful.
xx
Loves it. I'm so excited for assymetry this season. It was one of the most exciting things I saw on the runway :)

Heart this trend! I wish my arms looked better to sport it all the time!
Beautiful! I adore the Armani Privé one!
oooo one shoulder dresses are so... sexy! lovely! thank you for your sweet wishes, we had a wonderful vacation! xo
I love Asymmetry, though have never tried wearing it myself.
This post makes me want to wear a dress and party!
