Betsey Johnson was my gateway to fashion.
Her store came to Roosevelt Field Mall on Long Island oh so many years ago, and I wandered in. I found a black dress that I loved! It was a silky baby doll dress with thin straps (very "in" for 1999). My mother looked at the price tag and said "you have to be kidding." And I said I wasn't! I knew then I was hooked.
Eventually, she broke down and bought me the dress (on sale, we compromised!), and I wore it for years and years. It always made be look spectacular. Just a simple black dress, but it was so much more to me. My first designer dress.
The dress I have featured here is everything I love about Betsey Johnson. Classic styles with an edgy, modern take. This dress is houndstooth, a classic pattern, but Betsey Johnson can't just make a houndstooth dress, so it's blue houndstooth. She is also a master of showing off the best parts of ladies and hiding the worst. Look at that middle cinching, and the fluttery cap sleeves! Hiding the bad, showing off the good!
