When Kate Winslet showed off her curves in this Stella McCartney miracle dress at Venice Film Festival, the dress got fashionista’s nods. At a quick glance, her waist looked tiny and silhouette, extra curvy. At a closer look, you’ll realize that this smartly tailored Stella McCartney number uses a form of optical illusion.
It smartly mixes color-blocking to sculpt and highlight Kate’s waste. It also uses firm stretch cotton to keep the body in tight wraps similar to what body shapewear does. An optical illusion paired with shapewear is a crafty combination that is worthy of a mention to you, dear readers.
Other fans of the Stella McCartney Miracle dress include Liv Taylor and Penelope Cruz.
While the dress promptly sold out on Stella McCartney company’s site and her New York store, we found one last dress at Saks Fifth Avenue site (Now sold out.) and a plethora of fitting and more budget friendly dresses on other sites.
