i ordered this tunic dress from Maria Cornejo yesterday and it arrived today. i guess that $20 shipping fee was worth something after all! as with all of her pieces, everything is simple yet expertly designed and constructed, which is what i really gravitate towards nowadays. case in point: wiksten made, green olives design, uniform-studio, and le bouton studio.
i didn't realize how sheer the silk/cotton fabric is, so i will have to figure out a better way of wearing it. maybe uniformly darker clothing underneath? any thoughts?
Zero Maria Cornejo silk shirting tunic dress. $135, originally $540.
Beautiful tunic dress! I love Maria Cornejo's take on fabric and construction. It does seem a bit challenging to put the pieces together though...it is sheer, but maybe wear it over a vivid floral print sundress and let the hem peek a bit and play with color contrast? It is too pretty to just use it solely for the poolside.
ReplyDeletethanks for the suggestion. i probably wouldn't have bought it if i had known how sheer it was, but i think it's beautiful regardless. so now comes the challenge of wearing it well!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of uniform dark clothing underneath. Black thermal, black tights, black booties...?
ReplyDeleteAs it gets warmer maybe a tad more revealing as a cover-up type thing? American Apparel lame bandeau swim top and light blue acid wash jeans..?
sorry so late to this post - i meant to comment when you first wrote it.
ReplyDeletehave you found ways to incorporate this item?
how do the zero+maria cornejo sizes run?
