But the tent-looking alternative isn’t much more appealing, either. I felt the same way until I discovered these loose, expensive-looking dresses. They’re proof that ‘flowy’ doesn’t inherently mean ‘frumpy.’ With dreamy prints, billowy silhouettes and boutiquey details, these drapey dresses are arguably even chicer than their restrictive counterparts.

It is a combat against centuries of indoctrination into inferiority and the daily practice of toxic competitiveness that benefits a minority, to the perpetual detriment of a majority. A world built…
