Unabashed Apparel
You know those pants? The ones with the zip-off legs? Those pants that look like they'd be a good idea, but as pants they look awkward, and as shorts they still look awkward.

You might think the same standard of awkwardness applies to a dress, but Sarahbeth Larrimore of Unabashed apparel can work magic.

In its long form, the dress has a row of detail that fits in brilliantly with the rest of the dress. It is also the stopping point for the slit in the front, so it doesn't look out of place. It has the same purposeful scrunchiness (I'm sure there's a more designery word for that) as the shoulders and midriff.

It fits in so well, in fact, that I did not even realize the bottom part could be removed until I saw the next photo. It blew my mind.

The Unabashed apparel Sapona River collection will be available in March. Photos by Jana Busbin.

Thank you Miss Laf! I think this is the dress I'm going to wear to weddings this year. Now I just need invites!

Thanks so much for the love - right back at you!

I think you are right on~ convertible pants are always awkward- but this dress looks brilliant! I love the detail of the buttons as well as the function.

Of course Sarahbeth Larrimore of Unabashed Apparel takes an idea that would be seemingly awkward and turns it into a soaring success of genius. Its all about recycling, and SB is the master of all things green. I love the idea of taking the bottom part of the skirt off AND using the bottom as a bit of a shrug for going out on the town....put it in white silk and you have the perfect bridal gown for a backyard bbq! I love that Unabashed Apparel is as fancy as YOU make it.
