a very smart woman: the color compliments her complexion, the silhouette and the length, everything is perfect. furthermore, her jewelry appears simple and understated. she looks beautiful, elegant and well in her skin. more sexy, happy women please!

i am curious also, “anonymous” asked, how does it hang when you’re not moving. I suppose for the woman on the go that’s irrelevant otherwise, I’ve found a new love. Kris Van Assche.

not really a dress that will sell well,do you think?

Funny how certain colours can be so ‘out’ for years and years and then suddenly they’re beautiful once again. This is lovely, fresh and uplifting fashion and she wears it well.

what a glorious image!

She looks beautiful – very natural, relaxed and at ease. However I personally do not like the shoe with this shape. I think a chunkier heel and darker colour would balance the vibrancy and looseness of the dress in a much more pleasing manner.

i am with the others happy to see a woman who looks like she has had a good meal… and enjoyed it. it is about time.

Oh, my, OH MY! Smart to show the dress in action. Stunning!

her shoes are amazing! they remind me of Barbieshoes — but in a grown-up, ladylike way. so fun. she looks so happy.

refreshing! smiling happy woman. you caught the moment perfectly sart…vibrant yet simple, brightly elegant…interesting.

reminds me of designer Modi Soondarotok of IDOM! beautiful color and movement.

Woah! cool. I would like to see something bringing the look up to her absolutely stunning face. a flower in her hair would work divinely. The pink shoes are an inspired choice. She rocks orange, and not many women can.

I am craving fresh oranges right now! That color is positively fabulous. I love the movement in the photo! :-) This picture makes me happy.

thanks! it’s nice to see a real woman with a real figure…”

Amen! Love that bold color, brave of her to choose and she wears it well. Those shoes are pure joy. she’s just glowing all over!

The dress is just lovely. Paula

Sometimes I think that rather than people well dressed…you actually pick great pictures, with great light, in the right place and at the right moment…it’s not that much about fashion, but about amazing pictures…and the awesome way you can capture peoples’ expressions…. just wanted to say this. However, some of them really look stylish, what I also like. big kisses from BCN. Lyly

The first thing that struck me (besides the radiant colour) is her beautiful figure! Lovely! And she looks so happy and warm.

Funky dress… great color!

a joy to behold and a great photo!

Love the color! She looks fantastic in it and I love the way the fabric moves as she walks. I’m interested in how that dress looks when she’s standing still. I have a feeling it would look kind of shapeless and unflattering. Looks great though as long as she keeps moving.

love it all! defying staid rules in the most inspiring way. who says curvier women shouldn’t wear diaphanous silhouettes or pair bright shoes with a bright dress! the loose bun is a lovely final touch.

Her smile is her greatest adornment!

wow this is lovely .. i wish a lot of woman could pull this off

After seeing the original photo of this dress at the Kris Van Assche Spring 2008 Ready-to-Wear Collection on Style.com, I agree with two sets of posters here: the “her curves elevate that dress” and “that dress might not look so great unless in motion”.

Clearly the dress looks spectacular on this curvaceous woman. I would also like to see it at rest to see if it still looks and drapes as beautifully as it does in motion.

That smile and that strut keep my first thought away from the word muumuu. She looks stunning!

I love wearing dresses like this when it’s windy.

DYNAMITE color. stunning.

As a size zero who thinks that women with flesh look much, much better than do we starved-looking types, I agree that this is BEAUTIFUL. Everything about this breathes comfort and joy. I absolutely love it and wish I could do it myself. It’s a colour I bought recently, though in a fitted sheath – great to see it in vogue, as with the bright yellows.

I don’t know if anyone has said this but it reminds me of the painting Flaming June by Frederic Leighton. The radiant color represents the spirit inside. I think its fantastic

Wonderful! But I would like to see her in a pair of more emphatic shoes… preferably in pillar-box red.

She’s beautiful and her smile is the only accessory she needs. I love the color of the dress and am also curious as to what it looks like when in repose. I would imagine that movement is it’s best friend.

I’m small (thin and 5’4″) and know that I’d be swallowed up in so much fabric. She must be pretty tall.

I also dig her shoes.

As for her being a “real” woman….I don’t even know what that means but I do know that she’s gorgeous real or fake.

She is beautiful in that refreshing way that says,”I’m not a model, designer, reporter or some other fashionista…although she may very well be.

How did you get that orange in the background? Photo Shop?

now see, THAT is color done right. she’s LOVELY. and probably a size 6.

She’s full figured, and this is a wonderful dress that has both movement and style. Love the color –what a refreshing break from the browns and blacks.

Count me in the group who finds it terribly offensive how everyone overflows with comments every time a so-called “real” woman is featured. Can’t we just keep the focus on the picture itself, and the woman in it, accepted as they are?

This woman looks gorgeous, and it would never have crossed my mind to critique her weight if not for all the comments.

And the anonymous poster who described size 0 as “starved looking” – Please. You’re not helping, just because you may be a starved looking size 0 doesn’t give you the right to insult others who may be a natural, healthy portion-eating size 0. Trust me, we exist.

It´s like a poem blowing in the wind!
Great dress, amazing shoes, perfect hairstyle, suitable collar for her body shape. Anything else???

I’m not fond of orange myself but this woman wears it well. The dress looks great in motion and suits her figure, but standing still? I’d like to see the same woman and same dress in different angles. Not with those pink flowery shoes, though.

Awesome with a capital A+.

it´s a real person.
it’s a woman that is alive.

love love love. she’s BEAUTIFUL. color fantastic. hair perfect. gorgeous smile. i want to be her. where’s she going? off to the museum? fabulous flight somewhere? oh, i love this shot. makes me care about her.

That's such a beautiful bright color. If only she had cool earrings on that went with the shoes.

She bears a resemblance to soprano Elza Van Den Heever before she got the scary haircut.
