Meet Gabby, with the ‘G’ from ‘good time’ and ‘graceful’. And it does it all without extravagant details, just the alluring play of lines and bust darts. This dress has a wonderful willowy drape. The triangular insert (godet) at the front is an eye-catcher although the two-in-one balloon sleeves - with a shorter inner sleeve that pulls the outer sleeve in – do give them a run for their money. Gabby’s got some drama going on, but is still wonderfully simple somehow. Some people have just got *it*. No more drama? Drop the godet – simple as that.
