Those shoes do NOT go with that dress,and somebody needs some lotion on their heels,LOL. The line of the dress is totally wrong for her,it makes her look dumpy. Line,ladies,line! THIS is the fashion columnist of The WaPo? That's pitiful-it's plain to see where they made some budget cuts.(This is fun,giggle).

I think the problem is the fabric of the dress, not so much the line. I'm long-torsoed myself, and I often wear low-waist dresses. But I choose heavier fabrics that hold their line.

If she insists on wearing "fluttery" fabrics, she needs a heavy silk underdress. Only the extremely thin can carry off a busy fitted waist like that in a lightweight fabric.
