Lately, I've been more than distressed by the lack of inventive and untailored looks gracing the "formal attire" aisles.  I found this Tadashi Shoji dress to be my exception, a breath of fresh air from the taffeta wonders that can only be described as horrifically inadequate to the task of making a woman look more like a vision than a nightmare. The best part of this dress is the classy but sexy lace sections that allow for enough imagery without any of the issues of the less than lovely protruding onto the scene.
