Pattern Placement Fail

"Dear Cleo Petites:

You know I love you, right? That I have a number of your dresses in my closet and love them. But this new dress you have - called Placement Print dress - ummmmm....what were you thinking? Were you going for the Eve figleaf look on purpose or was this just poor planning?

Signed,

Won't Be Ordering This One"

    Funny! You have a good eye, I don't think I would have caught this.

    Ha ha Joy - it's the PERFECT accessory!

  • Victoria replied 11 years ago

    I think I am in the minority there but I think its very pretty dress and I wouldn't even notice the "strategic placement"

  • MsMary replied 11 years ago

    Okay, I know this is super wrong on all levels, but I totally want to wear the dress, necklace, and bracelet all together!!

  • Kim replied 11 years ago

    MaryK, YOU could pull it off!

  • replied 11 years ago

    Just call it the "Burning Bush in the Garden of Eden" look! tee-hee

  • MsMary replied 11 years ago

    Kim, the scary thing is that I would totally do it! How fab would it be for, say, a theatre opening?

    This thread is hilarious. If I ever catch sight of that dress in the store now, people are going to wonder why I'm snickering, because it's true, the right accessories are so important to the look of an outfit!

  • Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago

    so far we have the dress, a necklace and footwear - anyone have handbag suggestion???

  • Joy replied 11 years ago

    We have an apple bracelet but this may work for the handbag:
