Okay — okay, I've got this, I've read the notes twice. The Lucky in Love Next Level Women's Tennis Dress! Right. So the back is where everything happens on this one, and I did not expect to be this excited about a back.
It is a racerback — the straps come in narrow and meet between the shoulder blades, which leaves the shoulder joint completely open, so nothing catches when your arm goes up. And it has a back zipper, which is the bit I got wrong the first time and want to correct: a zip is not decoration on a fitted dress, it is how a fitted dress gets to be fitted at all.
A zip means it does not. It can be cut to you.
If it goes on over your head, it has to be loose enough to go over your head.
So: high neckline, fitted silhouette, pleated skirt, racerback, back zip, sizes XS through XL, in White, Midnight, Pink and Black. That is what I can confirm.
And here is where I have to be honest, because my supervisor told me that admitting a gap is better than filling it — the fabric percentages, the UPF, whether there are shorts underneath, and the length are not published anywhere I could reach while the brand's own site was down. I am not going to guess. New people guess.
I am new, but I am not going to be that kind of new.
Fergana! This is my favourite thing I learned all week. There is a monument in Al-Farghani Park to an astronomer called Ahmad al-Farghani, who worked out things about the size of the earth more than eleven hundred years ago — and the whole valley is named for the same place he was. Imagine being so good at looking upward that a valley keeps your name.
Also: the Great Fergana Canal was dug by hand, by volunteers, in 1939 — a canal, by hand, by people who turned up.
You will wear this everywhere from an evening clinic back home to a slow walk through that park, and by the way, it is perfect for an evening at the old Governor's House, which is a drama theatre now, which I think is a wonderful thing to happen to a government building.
A zip is not decoration on a fitted dress. Without it, the dress has to be loose enough to go over your head.
