The stores are filled with little babydoll dresses, their adorable empire waists hearkening back to an age when it was cute to look like you had a chubby little tummy.

Bummer - you want in on the forgiving empire waist, and it's true, now that you're all grown up you love your body - but you probably aren't interested in showcasing your stomach when you've got so many other wonderful assets, like those incredible legs. We have a solution.

The Lacie Dress has you covered from spring to summer and through the fall.

This dress has it all - the shift shape flatters whether or not you have junk in your trunk, and the front band detail flattens out the front and prevents that dreaded tummy bulge. Plus, the versatile length allows you to wear as a mini dress or with leggings (or even city shorts!) as a tunic top.

Did we mention the fabric is dyed with Earth-friendly soy ink? Yep - you're a hottie and you care about the environment!

Made with 100% cotton lace, the dress features a v-shaped back with decorative gold zip and front button detail. Hits mid-thigh. The bell sleeves hit just below the elbow so you don't have to keep pushing them up. Detachable slip included to keep things from getting too scandalous, and also to add color.

Available in Malan* beige with chocolate brown slip (shown on model), Black with black slip, or White with white slip.

Sizes: XS (0-2), (4-6), M (8-10), L (12-14)

Lacie Dress -$150

*True story - the fabric for the sample of this dress was given to me by Malan Breton, of Project Runway fame, when I worked for him during Fashion Week - it was originally the curtains in his store on Avenue B!
