Jo-Ellen Tiberi’s Blue Cutout Maxi Dress

It’s a floor-skimming blue maxi with strategic cutouts at the waist and ribs, the kind of dress that photographs better than it sits down. The fabric has weight — a heavy matte jersey that holds its drape instead of clinging like a damp napkin. Think Kenya twirling at the Reunion in Season 5, except this one doesn’t need a prop to make the point. (The cutouts are the prop.)

Wear it to an engagement party you’re secretly hoping implodes. Wear it to a christening if you hate the mother. Acquire →
