Five Words: Buy The Stella McCartney Dress!

I first saw this Stella McCartney dress on Good Morning America last week and nearly spit out my oatmeal.

It was so friggin' gorgeous. I mean like, stop dead traffic gorgeous. How can you not like it? GMA dubbed it the "miracle" dress, and I'd have to agree. If you're looking for a traditional sheath dress, forget it. This is not the one.

This dress from McCartney's Fall 2011 collection is definitely more trendy. Really, it's a fresh take on a modern classic. First worn by Kate Winslet at the 68th Annual Venice Film Festival last month, the dress is now sold out.

But that hasn't stopped celebs from La La Anthony Kim K to Liv Tyler from wearing the frock. 

It's an absolute must-have for curvy girls, and I think it looks best on girls that have ample curves. Yet, if you've always wanted an hourglass, but don't quite have it, look no further than this dress. This dress can give you what your momma didn't.

It features contouring and color blocking for illusion at its best. With contrasting, strategically placed shades of off white, black and and beige, it lifts the girls, cinches in your waist to make it appear two sizes smaller (who doesn't want that?), elongates your torso, and makes your hips appear curvier. (Hello, Jessica Rabbit!)

It makes you look slim and curvy at the same time. You must, must, must rock this with major attitude, as it's definitely form fitting. Throw on a pair of Spanx, if you need them, and do the damn thang! I hope this dress marks the return -- at least in Hollywood -- of the acknowledgement of the curvy woman. Most women aren't a size 0. We've got curves and we're proud of them!

At $1,600, this dress is a hefty price tag. I'm all about doing it cheaper. Check out this replica in black and plum from Asos for less than $80. Can't beat it.
