Enchantress Dress by Dominique Ansari
There is nothing more versatile and sought after amongst a woman's wardrobe than a superbly crafted jersey knit dress. To go to your closet and ponder, "what will I wear to _____?" And to have the answer staring you back in the face: the dress the falls perfectly and offers indefatigable confidence. That dress ladies, is designed by
Dominique Ansari, who provides us with a whole bevy of beautifully constructed and cascading jersey dresses from which to choose. Take a look at her collection for yourself and see that I do not lie--Dominique's pieces cling to your curves and the layered skirts provide flounce and movement with each step. The Enchantress dress lives up to nothing short of its name and its flowing skirt transforms even the lesser coordinated into something of a flamenco dancer. Don't underestimate the power of the perfect jersey dress, donning the dress leads utter strangers to stop you on the street and declare their admiration for its design. Much of this is due to the open back with various ways of styling--my favorite being the two ties separated with twisted knots (featured above, middle picture).
Dominique Ansari started her independent line in 2009 when located in the San Francisco Bay area. Dominique recently relocated to Los Angeles to make LA her business base and participated in LA Fashion Week alongside Project Runway winner Seth Aaron for Project Ethos. Dominique describes the following as the inspiration behind her line,
"My ideal for the clothing was always to make something in between the line of comfort and couture-like details for everyday wear, but sexy. I wanted to create collections that would appeal to consumer marketing, but has a high end feel and look that boutiques and buyers would want in their stores."
