“Veni, Vidi, Vici.”

Didn’t I see you at the Lido?

Pursued by a wildly gesticulating suave Italian talk show host (and crew) making a beeline to ask how you think the edgy Italian director Paolo Sorrentino’s sexy movie will fare against some of the other offerings in the Venice Film Festival.

“Did he capture, how shall I say, the raw sexuality of the main character?”

Hmm… wonder why he picked you?

Even when your back was turned.

Nobody else who was there wondered.

Lido Dress (No. 3416). Body skimming below-the-knee cut of 100% silk georgette. Cap sleeves and neckline make a discreet frame. Hook and eye at top of center back neck to create opening for a peek of skin. Horizontal shirred bodice with side boning for shape. Invisible center back zipper. Skirt gathers at waist. Lower bodice and skirt are fully lined. Full skirt, fluttering and wonderful.

You were so right to take this dress along.

Women’s sizes: 2 through 18.

Colors: Aqua with Pale Yellow Dots, Coral with Blue Dots.
