Venturing into Dresses with Monroe and Main + Giveaway #MMBloggerSpotlight

This is a Fashionista Event Opportunity. .

monroe-main-dress-clock-2-e (625 x 846)

Recently, I’ve been getting rid of the old, so I can bring in the new.  I realized that during the Great Closet Cleanout (more on that later) that I only owned one single dress and one single skirt.  How could this be?

There was a very long period of time where I never wore a dress.  For a while, if I looked at a dress, I was like “uh, no.”  It became a joke that I didn’t wear anything that only had one leg hole. I would cruise on by the racks of dresses in stores, not even paying them a second glance.  And then something happened.

I decided I want to get back into wearing skirts and dresses.  I mean, how bad can it be, really?  I like to wear tunic tops.  Isn’t a dress just going to be a longer tunic that doesn’t have pants under it?  I wear shorts, so a skirt isn’t that far of a leap.  I think I can do it!

monroe-main-dress-clock-e (625 x 861)

The first dress that’s up in my new dress wearing experiment is the Knot Your Mother’s dress from Monroe and Main.  This dress has a great fit that is oh so flattering on all body types.  With a wrap bust and an empire waist, this is a dress that hides a multitude of sins. The fabric itself is a blend of rayon and spandex, which helps to fit fabulously and flow beautifully.

While the dress is sleeveless, it’s not annoying like some sleeveless garments.  It’s almost like a cap sleeve.  There are no bra straps hanging out or side boob that’s visible.  No one wants that!

monroe-main-dress-fork-e (625 x 870)Largest fork in the world!!

One other benefit of the rayon/spandex fabric is that it travels like a dream.  I got this dress out of the envelope & tried it on.  No wrinkles.  I tossed it onto the catch-all chair in my bedroom.  No wrinkles.  Before I went to take these photos, I added the Knot Your Mother’s Dress to a tote bag.  When I pulled it out to get dressed, still no wrinkles! This dress would be perfect to pack for either a business trip or a vacation.

The Knot Your Mother’s Dress is a fantastic dress for three season wear.  Great for spring, perfect for summer, fabulous for fall.  You could even add a pair of leggings, boots, and a sweater for winter.
