On Tuesday, we talked about the magic of draped skirts. They’re chic and different, and when you wear one, you just feel special. So this weekend when I found a draped dress that wouldn’t put me into the poor house, I just had to share it with all of you.
While the woman in the photo is wearing dress shoes, I would wear the dress more casually than that. I’d wear it with a cognac belt and a pair of boots/booties. And if I were going to wear it out, I would wear nude or grey pumps instead of black.
Contrary to popular belief, black shoes are not the cure for what ails you. They do not go with everything.

On-line shopping purchase before 9:30am? Check ; ) And thanks EG for the heads up on the discount!

Do you have to be stick thin to wear this dress? I'm not a big girl, but I'm wondering how clingy it is.
Belle says:
I was worried about that too, so I just bought the next size up and my size. The size up fit a little bit nicer, and with a belt, it looked really great. Try both, return the other.
KLo says:
Seriously, Gap should give you a commission on this dress. I'm excited for 7-10 days from now!
Nellie says:
Ooh, black shoes don't go with everything? Say more about that!
R says:
I think we need a post that is 100% about shoes! <3
Also, I have tried this dress on and I would also recommend getting a size larger if you aren't stick thin, but my problem is it was then too big in the bust area. =(
Belle says:
I had the same problem, but my dry cleaner was able to alter it to fit me.
ChicMama says:
Maybe it is just because I am pregnant… but I totally thought this was a maternity dress at first! (And was excited to buy it!)
Claire says:
Such a coincidence you posted this because I had just joined Rent the Runway at your suggestion and gotten this dress for an event: https://www.renttherunway.com/shop/designers/christiansiriano_dresses/sapphiresophisticatedress
Also blue, also draped. Wish I had known about the Gap version!
Jill says:
That color is so pretty. Love black but sometimes it's nice to have a fresh alternative.

I don't like wearing skirts or dresses for everyday wear, but this dress is tempting me with its look and price (even more affordable with Gap's 25% off). The only thing I'm worried about is the neck draping part – how revealing is it for someone with a flat chest?
