Fake Midriff Fashion

Luxirare Crop Top Dress Has a Flesh-Toned Mesh Panel

— May 3, 2010 — Art & Design
If you want to get a piece of the belly-baring spring trend without actually doing so, this Luxirare crop top dress is the perfect compromise. The zipper-trimmed dress features a wild black-and-white print, and a flesh-toned mesh panel separates the cropped top of the dress from its flowy circle skirt.

Check out the gallery above to see more images of the Luxirare crop top dress. What a clever idea for warm days that segue into cool nights!

Implications - The crop top dress emerged out of a stylistic conflict from the designer, who wanted the look of a crop top without the hassle of wearing one. She introduced the nude band that runs across the waste to create the illusion of a bare belly in an easy and stylish way.
