Best Fabulous Escape From Boring Clothes

Ready to ditch those boy clothes for something femme but not too precious? Tired of having a closet filled with nothing but black? If your answer to either question is yes, this is the place for you. The sensational iridescent silks, taffetas, brocades, and hand-dyed, embroidered pieces -- all designed by artist Christina Kim -- are soft and comfortable to wear, and the colors are beyond vibrant. Spring and summer are the primo seasons to buy and the dresses, blouses, pants, and skirts can be layered and mixed -- ideal if you're a person for whom dressing is a form of creative expression and play. Recognizable to others in the know without being a walking advertisement, Dosa clothes may be a universal language, though they can be a bit pricey, so ask to get on the mailing list and check out the trunk shows and sales for good deals.
