    What are the odds that the women who'll be able to wear these without flat stomachs will actually have arms good enough to suit sleeveless dresses? This is just an updated muumuu for those times when the weather's too hot for fat pants.
  2. Angry West Coast Canuck from Canada writes: Only 2 years ago? Wow, Canada really is catching up. Used to be it took 5 years at least before "new" styles caught up in Canada.

    And before someone slams this board because it's talking about fashion which is "obviously taking valuable conversation time away from important issues like Afghanistan, Tasers and climate change" - quit trolling....It's not an either/or. And this is a lovely diversion to the day!
