People seemed uneasy about Stefano Pilati's use of heather gray jersey on YSL's spring '08 runway - until Kate Moss wore this dress in the ads and everyone else wanted to wear it, too.
The thing that keeps it from being a glorified American Apparel-esque sweatshirt tube dress is the expert tailoring, the thin fabric and the sharply cut front 'V'.
Unfortunately, when Topshop decided to copy it, they left out those important factors. The color's the same, so are the darts and the length, but you can tell, just from seeing it float in internet space, that it won't be flattering on anyone.
Not even Kate - and that says a lot.
p.s. Olga's shoes are way on sale at Barneys!

Topshop is a basic tube dress, what do you it won't be flattering on anyone? With some accessories, maybe even a belt, it can be very flattering if not very flexible piece of clothing! If you need the designer to do everything for you then that's too bad for you.. the lack of imagination.. and oddly, style.
