Mmmm.. marshmallows! Or marshmallow fashion I may need to say, that is certainly what I think of when I wear this dress. It is bright, white, and definitely very fluffy- a fun and playful little dress!

I bought this some time ago, back when I think Vogue had a special line for The Gap- remember the white voluminous dresses? Well this was one of them, and I adored wearing it. But once it went into the back of my closet during the winter months, I had forgotten about it. That is to say until now. It was some number of years ago but I am delighted to have discovered this dress once again.

It billows like an over-sized pillow case, but then stops short with a bow and ruffles finishing off as an adorable skirt. The short sleeves are giant puff balls, too- which I love. It may be big with volume in the core- but it still shows the arms, neck, and legs which keeps the feminine form alive. And that is also why it makes me think of a marshmallow- like a giant one with puffed sleeves and a ruffled skirt! Not a bad thing in this case, just a yummy and fun one.

Depending on how you move depends on how giant the puff of the dress will be- it moves very nicely and is incredibly comfortable. I love this dress, not a style I would wear on a daily basis but something that is delightful to wear from time to time. I love playing with silhouettes and volume, and especially with volume- balance is key. If this were a long dress, it wouldn’t work- it would then literally look like a pillow case!

But as it is now, it’s just right, playful but still feminine enough to wear and love.

And since I was wearing a white frilly dress with giant puff-ball sleeves, I couldn’t help but add an incredibly girly pink headband to go with it.

A bow, frills, puffed sleeves, and a pink headband? Definitely marshmallow sweet
