I think I am not alone when I say we have all seen a dress like this:
These dresses are a dime a dozen at thrift/vintage stores and while I am a lover of all things cheap and get such a kick from finding amazing things for pennies, puff sleeves do not look well on about 90% of the population...although I have seen some drop dead gorgeous, model-looking ladies WORKING these on the street. Because a model I am not, whenever I see these, I make an ACK sound and walk away-- that is until I saw a blue, gold studded Liz Claiborne dress. It was lined and fit me perfectly, except for its puffy sleeves made me feel like I could flap my arms and fly. For about five dollars, my seamstress chopped off the sleeves and instantly upgraded my dress into a modern piece. Next time, I think I will keep a small cap sleeve, but for now, I love this dress. I really wish I had taken pictures of what it looked like before.

In other news, I am thinking of firing my little assistant...He runs around like he has ants in his pants. I know this isn't Vogue but some degree of professionalism would be nice...
