A-Line Dress
How It's Used
“Christy Turlington, Kate Moss and Carolyn Murphy will grace the new Versace ads in September issues of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and Elle, wearing minidresses, A-line coats, black leggings and patent-leather boots.”
—Rachel Dodes and Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan, “Celebrity Fatigue? Fashion Designers Return to Supermodels After Some High-Profile Flops,” The Wall Street Journal, 26 Jul 06, p. B1.
“Makeover shows have a ritualized moment when fashion martinets ruthlessly rip through the victim’s closet, tossing out all the denim midiskirts and leatherette pants and replacing them with sling-backs and a single black A-line dress. The victim inevitably breaks down, begging to keep one beloved outfit that doesn’t flatter or look at all fashionable but is comfortingly familiar.”
—Alessandra Stanley, “At Home on the Outskirts, With Goofy, Grumpy Dad,” The New York Times, 6 Apr 09, http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/06/arts/television/06subu.html.
