Sooooooooooooo............

 

The Yigal Azrouël won the oscar-worthy frocks vote.

But. Being as how our girl TOLD US going without a bra is not an option....

I sought an expert opinion.

Linda the Bra Lady* says: That dress is gorgeous. But does require a stick on kind of thing. OR a sexy bustier that you don't mind showing. (Which, no. Not for this dress. Not for the OSCARS.)

Truth is: stick on bras will NEVER give the same support as a bra with a back and straps.

Uh. YEAH.

The Yigal is clearly made for a) a perky-as-hell 19-year-old or b) bionic-boobed Naurnie, who loves to run around with no bra on.

Oh well.



First and second runner up are the Aidon Mattox and the (dowdy) Max & Cleo.

The dress I voted for came in dead last.

Oscar-Worthy Frocks: The Vote!

Last night I FINALLY had high speed internet + a few solid hours to sort through your Oscar-worthy dress submissions.

I very quickly developed a pretty strict set of rules:

1. FULL-LENGTH

2. NO CHEAP SPARKLES

3. NO CHEAP ANYTHING

As Fine Persecution pointed out, our girl is a journalist, not a celebrity. She needs to look fabulous without looking like she's trying to compete.

My three faves were... The Aidan Mattox Belted Linear Dress ($395, pictured above).

Theysken's Theory Long Side-Slit Dress (Originally $690, Now $241)

Yigal Azrouël Green Satin Charm Gown (Retail $1695, Rental $250)

UPDATE: Here's the elusive Max & Cleo.
