    For myself, I would definitely want to go with the short dress that has all the ultra-feminine ruffles and bows by Christian Dior worn with the over-the-knee boots. Fabulous.

    Hmm for me it's a silhouette that fits the body and shows off curves (either an A line, fit-and-flare, or a sheath), a certain demure quality, and lovely details. I adore ladylike looks so this post was right up my alley!

    Love the Anna Sui and Marni.

    Because of my ample bottom and small waist, lady-like looks are the only ones that make me feel pretty and sexy. Sure, it's easier to wear a shapeless babydoll (and I often do!) but my bf always comments (positively) when I wear a more fitted dress.

    Once I get more moolah, there's a few vintage, Mad Men-type ones I wanna get on Modcloth :P
