The Khaite Dress of FW22
I paused on this look while watching the Khaite FW22 show live last winter and immediately posted on it. The dress is classic yet modern and, even though I detest a squished cleavage, I would wear it. The hosiery and pumps, too. Available at Khaite and NET-A-PORTER.

I have seen and touched the dress, very stiff/thick and uncomfortable fabric. beautiful style, not worth the discomfort with so many other beautiful dresses out there.
Ooo. Too much cleavage!
The top is more versatile IMO. The brand looks so so great this season.
20 years ago I would have fallen in love with this dress, wondered how I could pull together the scratch to buy it, and checked through every late Fall event where I could wear it.
Sigh.
My 60-something self loves the shoes!
Not sure about those off the shoulder straps and their ease.
I relate to both Sharon and MMS’s comments. If a woman wants to wear this look, she better not postpone it too long. Things change. The off-the-shoulder straps communicate, ‘I’m getting undressed,’ and I think they are too contrived. And how does she raise her arms? That said, the right woman, the right party . . . :-))
