One of the major fashion trends that has been on the horizon for a little while now is the loose and flowing tent dress. Blame it on the need to hide belly bumps in Hollywood or the boho-chic craze that just seems like it won’t go away, but this fashion forward and thought provoking dress is here to stay. I’m typically not a fan, but that fact has more to do with retailer execution and little to do with the actual concept.

A store that seems to have gotten it right this season is Catherine’s. They are currently offering a tented little black dress that will convert you to a believer almost instantaneously. I think the thing that makes this design more appealing than others of the same nature is the length. There are a plethora of tent dresses on the market that are just way too short and way too revealing to ever warrant any type of modesty. With the placement print dress from Catherine’s, this is avoided due to a well placed and wide banded banteau neckline and a knee length hem.

I still can’t decide if I am a fan of the pleated chiffon. If you’re like me, that might be a deal breaker. One good thing about the pleating is that it may hide small and unsightly bulges that would usually be on display in tighter clothing. Either way, I can get over the pleating if it means having a little black dress in my closet that displays a splash of color. Plus, if you happen to be suffering from excessive bloating, this dress will ensure you still have something to wear to any party.
