Her designs are so beautiful--unusual, well thought-out, very flattering to the body.<br /><br />Thanks, everyone, for the compliments and encouragement!<br /><br />Deborah, I can't find a site for Sun Kim. It's a division of Comfy USA, which seems to have a website only available to retailers (you need a reseller's permit to sign up and use the site). But, here are a few links showcasing some of their designs.<br /><br />1) Here's where I bought the dress: <a href="http://www.reneesclothing.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.reneesclothing.com/</a><br />The link to "A note from Renee" goes to her blog. No pics of Sun Kim, though.<br /><br />2) Tres Chic Boutique: I follow this site, although I don't end up buying here usually. They a couple of Sun Kim jackets:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.tcboutique.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.tcboutique.com/</a>&nbsp; (This is where I got the description of Sun Kim's clothing concept.)<br /><br />3) Some drool-worthy Sun Kim items here: <br /><a href="http://2chicboutique151.blogspot.com/2012/08/new-sun-kim-and-comfy-usa.html" rel="nofollow">http://2chicboutique151.blogsp.....y-usa.html</a> <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-pup-tent-dress#post-886919 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 01:36:30 +0000 Deborah 886919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Firecracker, this is stunning dress and you waer it beautifully. &nbsp;I love the arty vibe and really like it worn on its own:).

I lightened the exposure all the way on the photos before posting. I need better lighting for the photos. . . I'll get there in time, I'm sure!<br /><br />Angie and Kellygirl: thanks for your kind compliments on my hair and glasses! Yesterday's photo (#1) is with a fresh hair-trim and different specs than in the other photos. I have the best hairdresser--he really knows how to work with waves and curls.<br /><br />Angie: I, too, like #4 best, thanks! Yesterday I wanted the warmth of the sweater and tall boots.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-pup-tent-dress#post-886655 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 17:53:29 +0000 catgirl 886655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is the "eclectic" in Elegant Eclectic - really cool dress!&nbsp; Love gearish details. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-pup-tent-dress#post-886623 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 17:30:35 +0000 Thistle 886623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Really like #4!&nbsp; It is a very fun statement piece, yet the way you styled it keeps it from being over the top, IMHO. YLF! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-pup-tent-dress#post-886620 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 17:28:19 +0000 kellygirl 886620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree with Angie about your hair and glasses. You are so pretty! The dress is really cool and looks nothing like a pup tent--but talk about versatile and fun! I wish I could see the details better but all the darks kind of blend together on my screen. You look amazing in all of these though.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-pup-tent-dress#post-886494 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 14:30:51 +0000 Angie 886494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This dress reminds me so much of the late '90s! I's fabulous&nbsp;matched with the leggings and flats, and #4 is my favourite of these renditions. So fun! Tent-like has its advantages :)<br /><br />I am in awe of your hair. It curls so beautifully to frame your face and specs. I also love all the colours running through it. Magical!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-pup-tent-dress#post-886456 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 13:40:51 +0000 annaj 886456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love it!! What a fun dress!! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-pup-tent-dress#post-886441 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 13:02:38 +0000 Anonymous 886441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I can't see the details too clearly on my phone, but my favourite look is with the vest you have made some wonderful pieces! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-pup-tent-dress#post-886306 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 04:10:31 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 886306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What I wore to work today, or feeling pretty in a pup tent! Sun Kim, the maker of this dress, bills its clothing as "comfortable, lightweight, packable travel wear. Each piece is water repellent, weather resistant"! The dress probably COULD double as a tent, in a pinch! It seemed just the choice for today's wet snow flurries. The fabric is actually like light raincoat taffeta, and the sleeves are a soft rayon knit. The collar is wired at the edge, so you can shape it in lots of ways. There's an elastic drawstring at the hem, to adjust the amount of poof. Totally fun!<br /><br />I bought this dress to wear to a holiday party. I felt great in it, dressed up with a fun, sparkly necklace, heels, a skinny black bow belt at the waist, sheer black hose, and an oversized muted-metallic clutch (sorry, no pics).&nbsp; But I knew it would be fun to style over skinnies, or with tights and booties or leggings and flats, or lots of ways, for daytime.<br /><br />And I finally wore it to work today. <br /><br />1: How I wore it today. Sun Kim dress (Renee's Clothing, in Everett, WA): layered under a forest green bolero cardigan (made by me); with metallic-wine patent belt (Nordstrom); Marjorie Baer mixed metal necklace and hammered silver half-hoop earrings; black rough suede boots (Donald J. Pliner, NAS); black sheer patterned hose.<br />2: How the dress looks on its own: Sun Kim dress, with DJP boots, rhinestone bracelet, hammered silver earrings. <br />Other possibilities I tried on:<br />3: same as pic 1, minus the jewelry and with leggings and ballet flats<br />4: dress with a patchwork-print vest (made by me), rose pewter metallic braided belt (Brighton), black tights, black booties (Clarks, several seasons ago).<br /><br />This was definitely a "fun with fashion" kind of day for me. And I came home to find Angie's posts on dresses!<br /><br />Thanks for looking! Thoughts welcome!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
