Marchesa Couture Bubble-Skirt Gown

From Neiman-Marcus:

Love-Hate relationship with this dress. It's beautifully constructed and the movement is spectacular but the bodice is reminiscent of 80s Madonna / Thierry Mugler.

Thierry Mugler design:

Q comes downstairs, dressed as a witch, and hands (husband) and me poisoned apples. I refuse. She tells me, "I just shoved it in your mouth."
Me: "Why would you do something so cruel and unnecessary?"
Q: "Because I'm wearing high heels and I'm tall."

Ok, then... Apparently she's moved on from fireballs.

Etro Paisley-Print Tunic & Roberto Cavalli Rose Print Caftan

From Neiman-Marcus

I don't care for the entire outfit but the tunic itself would make a fabulous swimsuit cover-up. It's sheer, silk (not synthetic so it breathes), and belted to give it shape. It's also long enough to provide decent coverage.

Turquoise/multicolor chiffon embellished with paisley and floral print.
Boat neckline.
Right cap sleeve; left kimono sleeve.
Self tie belt cinches waist.
Hem hits mid-thigh.
Silk.
Imported from Italy.

From Nordstrom

Roberto Cavalli's caftan would make a beautiful swimsuit cover-up, as well, if it were longer and I like the uniformity and drama of the sleeves.

Description from site:
A darkly romantic floral print fades to black at the edges of a floaty chiffon caftan with a tie at the waist.
Approx length from shoulder: 25"
Silk.
Made in Italy.

Tibi Applique-Skirt Party Dress

The top on this dress by Tibi leaves something to be desired (or perhaps it's the overly thin model?) but I love the skirt. The applique adds texture and dynamism to an otherwise plain skirt.

Available at Neiman-Marcus.

This top by Royal Underground would be great but for the back (available at Neiman-Marcus). If the back fabric mirrored the front, it would be much more attractive.

Scoop neckline.

Sleeveless; thin shoulder straps; slight racerback.

Slim fit.

Hem hits at top of the thigh.

Pullover style.
