I'm always pleasantly surprised when a style I originally think won't work on my body type actually does. Case in point: this 'futuristic femme' Cynthia Rowley dress. I'm in love with the cut and botanical print, and with a tall pair of nude pumps it mysteriously elongates my 5'1'' frame. (Very much appreciated!)
And just for the record, I was in fact freezing while snapping these photos however I wanted to properly show off this dress sans my jacket. (Oh the crazy things us bloggers do right?)

My god you look fantastic!!
Beautiful dress; thanks for freezing to show it off to us ;)
I would have never guessed you're 5'1! For some reason I always assume bloggers are taller than they actually are. I guess that's a compliment to the way you dress!
And speaking of dress - this is FAB. Love it. xx
The dress is amazing and you look absolutely beautiful! xo, Christina

Lovely! I saw the first pic and thought, "Wow, she looks so tall!" And then you talked about how this dress makes you look tall! Great minds think alike.
Love the print, too!

this dress is so fabulous! So elegant and chic. Is the back open or just as crisscross as the front?
Stunning!
You look AMAZING! That dress is gorgeous and fits you perfectly!
@Lauren ~ Thank you!! The back is crisscrossed as well... same as the front. ;)
I love this dress! Good for you on taking a chance on something you originally thought wouldn't work on you, because it VERY MUCH does!
I need to try this fit out as well - you look so tall {I'm sure the heels help:)}! Such a fantastic dress!

@Samantha ~ yes! the nude heels were the trick (I tried on a few pairs from my closet that didn't look as elongating). xx
Stunning! That dress is perfect on you.
i loove this dress on you - what a fun piece!
The dress is fabulous - its so true how some items unexpectedly work! Also huge thanks for saying you were cold and would not venture out normally without a jacket. As a fellow New Yorker its so frustrating to look at fashion blogs and to see a blogger saying she is 'running errands' in a shorts suit or some other get up (that although stylish) is more weather appropriate for Atlanta than NYC this time of year.
LOVE the print and the colors of this dress and it looks stunning on you. The cut is just right, really interesting.

This dress is gorgeous on you! You always look so tall and thin in your photos, so I never thought you were as short as 5'1". Such a great example of how harnessing a few simple tricks can ensure that you dress in a very flattering way. Keep it up!

I would have had the same initial reaction to that dress and it's likelihood of working on my petite frame but I am glad you took the chance-this dress looks amazing on you!!

I probably wouldn't have picked up this dress for the exact same reason, but you totally pull it off beautifully - as always, of course!
Hi Alison,
Looking lovely as always. Had a question about your celine business card holder. Its so gorgeous. I have been looking all over for it and was wondering where you got it from and how much it was.
Thanks! Love your blog and style.
It looks fantastic, love the print too. Nice to know how it works, as I'm short too.
Winning!! This dress does not make you look like you are 5'1! You look much taller! That is always my goal when dressing. Attempting to look a bit taller than what I really am. ;)
p.s
I know i've said this numerous of times, but i'm so so in love with your hair color. you pull it off so beautifully! just like TTH.
I just love this dress!! It's so cold in SF right now i was actually shivering while reading this post, haha!

@Jane ~ Thank you! I bought the Celine business card holder at Saks while I was in Palm Beach. It was 60% off so I'm guessing that is why it's so hard to find. ;(
The neckline on your dress is incredible!! Absolutely love it.

Love the pattern! The drop waist would have me worried, but the length it takes from the legs, the shoes put back - so it all evens out in the end - Good call!
