This dress is proof that if you really love something you will scour the universe to find it. Anyway, funny story about how I first saw and fell in love with the dress. I was at the YSL store on Madison when this lady waltzed in wearing a figure-hugging strapless leather dress. So I did what everyone else in the vicinity did, stared. Not sure if it was the dress or if was the lady in the dress. After the sale associate woke me from my brief coma I managed to say to aforementioned woman “beautiful dress,” hoping, actually praying she would tell me who it was by. She did. “Oh, thanks, it’s J Mendel,” replied the lady. The search began 5 minutes later on my blackberry. After what seemed like an eternity I found it on stylebop.com, at a price that would make my former headmistress from boarding school slap me across the face. Fast forward four months later and the beauty is on the sale. It’s the last one please don’t buy it, I need more time to convince myself that lambskin is worth every penny.

This J Mendel dress is clearly the answer to my prayer for a perfect leather dress. I’m feeling very religious today. Have a great day!
