I was just browsing the internet, not looking for anything in particular, when I found myself on Net a Porter (as you do) and checking out some of the designers that I don't usually seek out. And aren't I glad I did! I have just fallen in love with this gorgeous black lace dress, subtle enough for day wear and yet so easily dressed up for an evening occasion. This lovely LBD is by DAY Birger et Mikkelsen, the renowned Scandinavian brand from Danish Keld Mikkelsen. The brand's designs focus on vintage-inspired touches to elegant, high-quality fabrics cut in easy shapes and wearable structures. Silk shirts, delicate embellishments, soft basics and streamlined evening wear. Lace is notoriously difficult, too much (especially in black) and you can look like Morticia Adams or the corpse bride, and if it's cut cheaply it can look, well, cheap. But the sheer arms, neat lining and sexy length of this dress would suit a variety of heights and shapes. I'm desperate for it even without a suitable occasion to show it off.
