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.




From site:
Pink silk gazar
Pleated, peaked sweetheart neckline floats slightly away from bust
Formfitting bodice; natural waist dips slightly at each hip
Full, pleated A-line skirt
Front bubble hem hits above knee; back extends to mid-calf
Hidden back zip
Silk.
Made in USA of imported materials.


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.
