Oh my, I too had that dress. Have already asked my mom to find a pix of me in it as I am suddenly missing it. I can assure you, however, that I never looked as cool as Mai in it. Awwww … the memories!

@ Sarah von – I would be impressed by the “tootie” bag to be sure.

I’m oddly impressed that so many people have/had this Laura Ashley dress (I have a poly one in seafoam green too). I like that it’s cotton and though the neckline isn’t shown, I like the sweetheart neckline and of course, the sleeves (and there are pockets) and the length means I can bike in it. I understand it isn’t for everyone, but (to be honest) not much of my wardrobe is.

Great subject, winning photos and commentary. Well done, Maggie!

the more fashion exuberance I see on this site the more I dream about living in San Francisco. Please do wear more belts and never self-censor an eccentric impulse. There are people on the east coast who are constantly having to dial it back.

I don’t love this.
I like the tights, and her hair, and her attitude, but the outfit not so much. I love eccentric things, but if something isn’t flattering it doesn’t really matter how artistically inspired it is.

I, too, wore that dress to homecoming my freshman year in high school. With a crinoline. Shudder.

Just thinking… we should probably have all held onto those bridesmaids dresses. Doing Vegas in one of those would have ROCKED!

i really have to admire someone who can pull off wearing purple tights.

Just not feeling the love for this. I envy and admire people who can view clothes and make them work in weird and wonderful ways but this outfit just makes her look rather squat.

She can really pull off this look. Me, I’d just look like an ass. Sigh.
