Frock Me Baby
Sugar Editorial Picks
Trend Alert: Frothy Frocks
Froth is usually associated with bubbles or foam. So, if there were to be a frothy frock it would be a dress that is bubbling with fabulousness. Be it structured tiers (Anne in Gianfranco Ferre), organza silk melded with lace (Keira in Balenciaga), or couture detailing (Dita in Marchesa), these dresses provide some real drama.
Frock Me Baby: Drama For Your Mama
Come to think of it, these dresses have way too much drama for your mama. Well, that is unless your mama is anything like the always avant-garde Cate Blanchett, here in Alexander McQueen. Those who display Cate's experimental nature should bust it out and show it off.
Frock Me Baby: Lace Yourself
Those who took my advice to embrace lace for Fall are on the chic track. Another girl who's on trend is actress Emma Roberts, who laced up in Chanel at the premiere of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in LA. Karl's designs may be out of your reach but there are plenty affordable and stylish options out there.
Frock Me Baby: Show Those Shoulders
Cleavage, midriff, legs — body parts known for their sexiness. But shoulders, those are a woman’s subtly sensual weapons. There was lots of shoulder love this year, as exemplified by Dita Von Teese in Vivienne Westwood.
Frock Me Baby: To the Maxi
I recently accompanied my friend on her hunt for the perfect party dress. Not too long after our search we discovered this Banana Republic Silk Maxi Dress in Peacock ($175). It looked good on the hanger but came to life when she slipped it on.
Frock Me Baby: Fantastically Frilly
It's obvious from our Best of 2008: Designer of the Year poll that most of you love frilly designs. So far, queen of ruffles, Marchesa, is in the lead.
What better way to begin our Frock Me Baby dress series than with ruffles, tiers, and frills?

2007 British Style Awards: Lily Allen
I don't think I've ever seen singer Lily Allen looking so girlie. She cleans up quite well in her baby pink strapless frock and sparkly Loubs. Yes, the jagged cutouts at the bottom of her dress are dramatic, but this is the ideal time to pull out all the stops.
