Whenever I go to Malibu, I always manage to squeeze in a bit of shopping at the Country Mart. The James Perse store there is so gorgeous and pretty much emulates the interior style I want for our future home. But beside the layout, I always manage to find a piece that ends up getting more play than the rest of my closet. The ruching on this dress is not only forgiving, but it allows me to change the length and fit of it by tugging it in different places.
