Plot

Bias-cut and unbothered. This dress was the 90s thesis statement: soft, slinky, and worn over a cotton tee with combat boots to signal you weren't trying — while trying enormously. It went to weddings, breakups, and at least one party that became a legend. It drapes like it knows a secret. It does.
