  2. Love the shoes. Beautiful shade of white for winter. I don't love the handkerchief hemline on this dress. Something about how it falls is off.

  6. In this case the uneven hemline adds to the image because the dress is of a beautiful simplicity!

    1. I agree, sometimes uneven hemlines don't work, but here is does because the dress is so minimalistic. Beautiful and tailoring is perfect. The beautiful city background is stunning!
