Biased Opinion

Falls Bias-cut Dresses

It was during Brad Pitt’s drugged out, rebel-without-a-cause sequence in Legends of the Fall that you officially became enamored with heroes who break the mold.

Time to engage yourself with a new rule breaker, this time on the fashion front.

One look at this season’s bias-cut dresses from Falls will have you redefining legendary. Each piece is cut from collar bone to collar bone to give the draped neckline a swinging, graceful appeal. Folds of fabric then fall into a flattering, curve-accentuating form that works on every size, from big-boned and busty to narrow like an arrow.

The flower-petal soft slips in cream and buff are slinky enough to wear underneath anything, while the navy, silk, boatneck dress will get you dressing outside the proverbial box.

And rewriting your own heroic tale.
