The Look for Less: Black Halo Jackie Dress



Black Halo at ShopStyle


Celebrities love Black Halo dresses for their figure-flattering and feminine styles. This Black Halo Cut Out Shoulder Jackie Dress shows just enough skin to be sexy yet sophisticated, and retails for $345 at Saks Fifth Avenue...

I'm simply not sure how flattering this look could really be. Would you be so kind as to give us some examples of celebs who've rocked this kind of dress?

As for that particular dress style, with the cut-out shoulders, I will be on the lookout for photos! I can see how it might be a tough look to pull off, much like a one-shoulder dress, but I think it's interesting and flattering throughout the torso, neckline, etc. Something different :-)

I don't find that Halo dress flattering at all. I like the French Connection one loads better. Although I am unsure of whether I would commit to buying and wearing a piece like this. Its almost as if they started out with a plain ole dress that they found boring so, they just started chopping away.
