Bigger is Better

T-shirt dresses and sweater dresses usually fall under the category of "better in theory than in practice." Until now.

Recent Central St. Martins alum Kumiko Watari's autumn/winter collection has some of the best t-shirt dresses we've ever seen. They're covered in zany, hand-drawn prints, and the colors look like they're copied straight off the covers of some of your best psychedelic records.

We also appreciate how the dresses are oversized, but in a really different way from the bubble and trapeze dresses that are starting to make us yawn.

Put on one of these frocks and you'll be instantly transformed into the life of the party plus the comfy-iest girl at the party. What could be better?

these dresses look like a tshirt you got for free and is too big so you wear it to bed just to get some use out if it. the prints are really cute... but the shape of the dresses is awful.

They remind me of those caftans worn by women in the 70s for entertaining. Something you'd see in a Woody Allen movie, for instance. Except that these are clearly updated and meant for entertaining while playing that 70s music ironically! Hey, these would rock, too, if you're 18 mos. pregnant like me. :)
