>> the amazing thing about a wrap dress , why it became so famous is because it looks amazing on every single body type . we have diane , a little bit of an apple shape. it makes her silhouette look incredible. and then the bright red color, bright colors might be a little intimidating. red, emerald, purple, all those jewel tones look so on for the season, christmas, new years. i think she looks flawless.

>> absolutely.
>> transitional.

>> incredibly comfortable. stretchy jersey material. really nice weight to it. you don't have to worry about it being too flimsy, which is a really big problem. it's a $51 dress available in sizes 14 through 24, which is great. great range of sizes. and i think she looks amazing. it's something she can wear to her office party really easily and add those bright blue pumps from aldo. they add a great pop of color. your holiday party for your office, i used to be in the corporate world. it's your time to shine and show a little bit of your flare. a little bit of ruching, great faux detail. subtle sparkles throughout the dress.
>> she looks great. it's not your ordinary little black dress .
>> exactly.
