When you think of movies from the 1950's, you remember the shiny cars, the cocktails, and best of all, the clothes - everyone looked so fresh-scrubbed yet grown up. No matter how many pairs of designer jeans I buy, I will never look half as good as Chita Rivera did strutting around New York in her tight pencil skirts.

Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, Rita Hayworth- who hasn't secretly wished for that kind of sweet yet smoldering appeal? What was their secret? Surely everyone couldn't have just lucked out and been born with tiny waists and perfect hips.Maybe the secret was actually in the clothes themselves.

It was - all that boning and corsetry and girdles would have given anybody a great figure. Personally we'd rather just get dressed.

Whether you're built more like Kate Moss or Mae West, The Waitress Dress will give you a figure straight out of Cat On A Hot Tin Roof.

This cotton dress features red and white awning-striped cotton lined with smooth white satin. The whimsical contrast-embroidered pockets are perfectly hand-sized, and both pockets and the sturdy straps have contrasting linen detail with an unfinished edge. A 2" criss-cross band at the waist gives you the kind of figure that women in the movies could only get from wearing pounds ofwhalebone.
This dress will look sweet with mules or absolutely scorching with high-heeled metallic peep-toes.

Is it hot in here, or is it just you?
