One Dress Ten Ways: Part I

Every so often you find a piece of clothing whose possibilities are just about limitless. And when it comes in sizes up to 40, well, then you've REALLY found something: Jessica London's "Classic Boatneck Dress" sizes 12-40 comes in various solid colours and also navy and green stripe, but the black white stripe is a chameleon: funky and classic, contemporary and retro, ladylike and tomboyish (hello, sailor), absolutely conservative but also avant-garde (RIP Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol).
