Who says that a party dress has to be encrusted in sequins? I’d rather have this “Kettle Corn Dress” in “sunset” by Emily and Fin from Modcloth any day. I think I’d wear this with a few petticoats underneath, a la Isla Fisher in Confessions of a Shopaholic – except instead of the multi colours, I think I’d have a gradient, so it faded from the red dress to white.

(Its also available in this “afternoon” colourway, y’know, for frolicing in fields. I don’t ever find myself in that sort of situation, but IF I DID, this would be perfect.)
