Heavenly Bodies

Bodyamr Clothing

The word jersey has never had the greatest of fashion connotations. (Unless you’re a fan of Carm Soprano’s bedazzled sweatsuits and indestructible hair.)

But clothing line Bodyamr may just breathe new life into the word. The collection uses silk jersey to stunning effect in an array of flowy dresses and other styles — and the result is distinctive but wearable ’70s -influenced designs that flatter the body while making a statement.

For a versatile fall dress, try the Augustus, a short little jersey number with draped sleeves. Other pieces, like the Crystal Lark trapeze dress with Swarovski crystals, are more formal.

With a few of these pieces in your closet your fall look could be worthy of a whole new name.

Just don’t call it New Jersey.

Available at Nordstrom, 8687 North Central Expressway, NorthPark Center (214-231-3900). To see styles, go to bodyamr.com.
