Annette Gortz Black ZIP-front dress.

Funky and playful, this is an interesting addition to your collection of LBDs. The quilted collar can be worn zipped fully up to cover your neck, or zipped down as far as you dare. Zip on the bottom can also be pulled up for a peek at the thigh. Hides all sins while accentuating curves, it’s a visually stunning crowd-stopper with the right accessories. Lost 40 lbs, so now it looks like a potato sack on me. Best suits size 8-12. German designer annettegoertz.com
