| 13 Winter Dresses to Shop Now, According to Vogue Editors - Vogue Posted: 08 Nov 2019 11:50 AM PST There's a lot to get dressed up for during the winter holiday season. Thankfully, 11 Vogue editors have perfected at least one fail-safe outfit formula to help get you through the endless list of occasions: winter dresses. Between sweaterdresses ideal for weekend getaways, gala-worthy frocks, and date-night-appropriate black knit dresses, they each bring their own versatility, so long as they're styled just so. A satin shirtdress can easily take you from the office straight to a holiday soirée, for example, with a quick swap from an ankle boot to a pair of glitzy heels. A printed cotton dress is as cozy as it is practical: Just add a chunky knit, throw it in your suitcase, and consider your Thanksgiving dinner outfit sorted. An above-the-knee puff-sleeve dress is the perfect pairing with this season's beloved knee-high boot, according to one Vogue editor who isn't quite ready to break out her tights. Don't forget a strapless silhouette either: Layering a turtleneck sweater underneath offers a quick fix for day, while throwing on a blazer transforms it for night. Afraid of the cold? Two editors swear by the dress-over-pants look for the wintry months, whether it's an effortless, flowy set of trousers or a pair of trusty leggings. Here, shop the 13 winter dresses Vogue editors are relying on this season, how to wear them, and where to buy them—no matter the occasion. Willow Lindley, accessories director I have been living in this silky-satin shirtdress from Kate Spade. It is the perfect not-so-basic basic and I love this length with boots. Alexandra Gurvitch, market editor I am obsessed with this keyhole cutout Bottega Veneta dress—it can work for the office, it can work for a date, and it can almost work at temple too. Emily Farra, senior fashion news writer The perfect shirtdress is so hard to find, but you can't go wrong with Marina Moscone's. I love the attention to detail on this one—the band collar, the deep cuffs—and am dying to wear it over pants or leggings this winter. Even better, it's a dress I can wear all year round; once the weather warms up again, I'll just swap out my boots for flat sandals. Alexandra Michler, director, fashion development I am very into this Khaite dress. Wear it with a lightweight T-shirt for the office, or with a blazer for cocktails. I love having one reliable staple I can wear all season. Steff Yotka, fashion news editor I can't stop thinking about this Story MFG dip-dyed dress with seashell embroidery. It's happy enough to convince you it's summer when daylight saving time has you feeling S.A.D. Anny Choi, market editor I love a great shirtdress for fall and winter. This one from Tory Burch is work appropriate, with a touch of romance. Ella Riley-Adams, senior living and beauty editor I've been coveting this corduroy maxi dress from the Vampire's Wife, which I think would work just as well with Dr. Martens loafers and Kapital socks at the office, as it would with kitten heels for a Christmas party. It's a rare dress that presents as both elegant and cozy. Caroline Griswold, market manager  |
| Posted: 08 Nov 2019 11:52 AM PST  If you don't know the label Safiyaa, chances are you've seen its most famous dress: a blue cape-back gown worn by none other than Meghan Markle. Images of the Duchess on a royal visit to Fiji last year went viral almost instantly: This was the first gown she'd been photographed in since her wedding, as well as one of her first public appearances after announcing her pregnancy. But the dress itself left a lasting impression, too: the striking color (mirroring the Fijian flag); the elegant cape detail; the narrow, unfussy silhouette. A few decades ago, a royal tour would've mandated a ball gown and gloves, but this was a fresh, modern alternative. In fact, Markle looked comfortable. That sort of easy-yet-elegant balance is the core of Safiyaa, according to its founder Daniela Karnuts. Before she launched the line in 2011, she was working as the commercial director for a major fashion media company in London and found it arduous to curate a "work wardrobe" that felt both sophisticated and practical. "I was always looking for clothes that were dignified, but still comfortable, and what I found was either very expensive or very seasonal and trend-driven," she explains. "You might find a beautiful dress, but it becomes the dress of the season, and by next year, everyone knows exactly what it is. Or it's beautiful, but it doesn't work for every woman's shape." She noticed men didn't seem to have this problem. Instead of navigating a glut of choices, they could simply go to Savile Row and have a suit made to their every specification. "I wanted to make that available to women, with eveningwear and ready-to-wear made to order and in multiple colors to choose from," Karnuts says. "I've always had the experience of finding a piece I loved and wishing I had it in five colors, so I'd have this wardrobe staple to mix and match." She decided to start Safiyaa with 12 such staples: a few trousers, tops, jackets, cocktail dresses, gowns, and camisoles—simple, yet powerful-looking pieces in sculptural silhouettes. The assortment has since grown to dozens of styles, all of which are available year-round in 60 shades of her signature stretch-crepe. "It took me years to find the right fabric," Karnuts says. "Women still want to be dressed up, but I don't think they want to compromise on comfort anymore. This holds you in, but it has just enough elastane that it's comfortable and molds to your body, and you don't feel like you have to change immediately when you come home." (An added bonus: The crepe doesn't wrinkle, so women who travel frequently for business or pleasure have one less thing to stress over.)  Still, the real differentiator is Karnuts's manufacturing process. Every item is made to order in her Mayfair atelier, whether it's a pair of trousers or an embellished evening gown, so she doesn't stock inventory. Londoners can schedule private appointments to have something made for them, whether it's a simple pair of trousers or a custom evening gown; Karnuts says her team "can do anything." Many of her private clients are based outside of London, and once Karnuts has their measurements, they'll simply place orders via WhatsApp. All of that personalization makes her price points impressive: She calls it "demi-couture at a ready-to-wear price point." To wit, the gown Markle wore retails for just under $1,300 on Net-a-Porter. That's still an investment, of course, but it's substantially less than what many luxury houses will charge for a gown—and theirs likely weren't handmade by a single person. Karnuts has been able to pull all this off by ignoring the typical fashion startup blueprint. She's never invested in press or marketing, and doesn't pitch her brand out to celebrities; until women like Markle and Michelle Obama made Safiyaa a recognizable name, her customers simply discovered the brand through word of mouth. (Obama's team approached Karnuts, not the other way around, because they'd seen so many women in Washington, D.C. wearing the brand.) Instead of "front-facing" activities like runway shows and press, she's focused on the "back end" of her business, refining Safiyaa's unique on-demand manufacturing. A typical piece is made to order (usually by a single person) and shipped in less than a week, while fully bespoke items (i.e. custom, brand-new designs) take two or three weeks. That detail will be a key selling point for Karnut's newest category: bridal. Karnuts is hoping to offer a modern, streamlined alternative to traditional wedding gowns—both in terms of the actual designs and the much shorter lead time. Six or nine months is the norm for a made-to-measure wedding dress, whereas Safiyaa's ivory tuxedos and embellished columns can be done in just a fraction of that time. "Over the years, we had so many clients asking us to make their favorite dress in white, or we did bespoke gowns for them. Net-a-Porter asked us to do a special capsule of white ready-to-wear pieces for their Bridal edit, and I thought, why not build out a bridal collection of our best-selling classics? It's a nice way to reinterpret our archives in white, but with new embroideries and embellishments." The results include tuxedos, jumpsuits, and top-and-trouser combinations in Safiyaa's usual crepe with new hints of sparkle. A sleek column with sculptural sleeves felt familiar, whereas other looks—a sparkling gown with a giant satin bow, or a long-sleeved dress in floaty chiffon—take the brand in a newer, softer direction. "I think a lot of women want to wear something like this down the aisle," she says. "But even the bride who wants to wear a big gown for the actual wedding will need something [easier] for the rehearsal dinner or brunch." Interested brides can shop the debut collection exclusively on Safiyaa's website and on Moda Operandi.  |
| Woman damages hand sewing dresses for young girls in need, has no plans on stopping - ABC 4 Posted: 08 Nov 2019 02:05 PM PST  VINEYARD, Utah (ABC4 News) – Utahns are striving to make a difference all around the Beehive State. For the past four years, Arda Molen has been working six to eight hours a day sewing dresses for girls all around the world.  Her dedicated repetitive hours over the years have taken a toll on her hand, wrist, and arm, causing her to wear a brace and undergo surgery. She has worn-out cartilage and strained ligaments resulting in two operations. Through the elements of her pain, she continues working with no plans to stop. Arda says she started making the dresses four years ago after she was in a car accident that left her temporarily unable to walk. She says after the accident she couldn't do the things she normally did. She said the decision to make dresses was obvious. Se knew her dresses were the best thing she could offer. "I decided to start making dresses for little girls in orphanages and other underprivileged girls all over the world," Arda says. Over the past four years, she has made and donated 5,000 dresses with materials purchased and picked by her. "I buy them all myself and then I get the material to match, then I match them up and sew the skirts on," she says. Many of her dresses were recently distributed to orphan girls in Malawi, Africa by The World of Difference, a humanitarian organization based in Provo. The dresses are made up of cotton t-shirts and cotton-poly skirt, and trim of lace along the bottom of the skirt. "When I get hurting really bad, I look at the pictures of the little girls. I decide I don't hurt near as bad as they do…" Arda says.  The World of Difference is a humanitarian organization that takes volunteers to Malawi each year. While there they repair and build schools, provide healthcare, drill water wells and donate clothing, Arda's beautiful dresses, to orphan children in the area. Dr. Richard Nielsen, President of Rocky Mountain University and Health Professions and co-founder, and president of World of Difference say they have taken 1,000 of Ards's dresses to Malawi over the past three years. He says he has been going on humanitarian trips to Africa for the last 32 years and has never seen more joyful reactions then Arda's dresses bring. "And every one of those stitches is done in love from Arda," he says. He says Arda is the perfect ingredient for a corporation like World of Difference to give back truly change lives. "You can image how when they see the love that goes into it, and they feel that love, that goes into these dresses. It's one of the most amazing experiences of my life because Arda is here in the United States and does all this great work…with her hands–with her heart," Dr. Nielson says.

| Dad dresses toddler daughter in funny hat, has fashion fail - Today.com Posted: 08 Nov 2019 06:57 AM PST When Ashley Braun picked her 2-year-old daughter, Elsa, up from daycare recently, she noticed there was no hat in the toddler's cubby. Braun's husband, David, had dropped Elsa off that morning, and when Braun found a knit diaper cover in the cubby, the Lindstrom, Minnesota mom put two and two together. "Minnesota is freezing, so I put it on her because it was cold, assuming he thought it was a hat," Braun told TODAY Parents. "I showed the girls at daycare, who laughed endlessly." Once she loaded Elsa into her car, Braun texted her husband, saying, "Honey, this isn't a hat. It's a diaper cover from when she was an infant. Notice the leg holes." Trending stories,celebrity news and all the best of TODAY. David's response: "Oh, I thought those were for like pigtails." Braun, who also has a 10-year-old son named Riley, says this isn't her husband's first time committing a fashion fail. "He's dressed her funny numerous times — and it makes my day," Braun explained. "He's sent her in swim shirts, tiny play shorts meant for under her dresses, completely opposite patterned shirts and pants and numerous times in a pajama shirt or pants." "I love it," Braun added. "He makes me smile every day." Braun shared a screen shot of their text exchange, and the post has gone viral. More than 60,000 people have shared it, with several moms tagging their husbands to let them know this sounds like something they, too, would do. Related: See the hilarious reason this mom got a text about her daughter's outfit So what did little Elsa think of her fashion misstep? "Elsa didn't even notice it," said Braun. "She said thought it was hat as well... If it wasn't very small and meant for an infant or newborn tush, I'd definitely try the pigtails with it."
