An American in Italy

Megan Huntz Dresses

We’ve taken an Italian lovah.

Okay. Maybe that’s stretching it.

But Megan Huntz’s Treviso-born line of dresses has us waxing romantic.

The Morningside native hand-washes silks and designs them to fit and flatter in unexpected ways. In short: Everything looks even better off the hanger.

Straightforward shapes like Katie (in green and blue, brown, and light purple zigzag print) have elegant tops and nipped-in waists reminiscent of a teatime Grace Kelly — if Gracie wore minis. Bolder styles like Jessica — a belted day dress made cooler with one shoulder lopped off — are all about finishing touches.

Hazy on styling details? Each dress comes with a Polaroid that serves as your muse.

Assuming you’re in the market for one.

Available at Kaleidoscope Boutique, 252 West Ponce de Leon Avenue, Decatur (404-378-1214). To see styles, go to meganhuntz.com.
