nude slip dresses are OUT for fall 2021… the mantua is IN!

i want to look like an absolute wedding cake when i step outside (if i can fit through my front doorway, that is)!

i want to be PILED with lace and embroidery!

who cares about a ‘bikini body’… if my butt isn’t the shape of a massive rectangle, i don’t want it!

who needs pockets when you can fit, like, 3 people, 2 dogs, a pony, and your immense ego (due to looking so fabulous, ofc) under your skirt?

forget the kardashians, i’m taking my fashion inspo from marie antoinette now!

in conclusion: the mantua was a GREAT look and i have NO idea why we as a society ever let it fall out of favor. ok, ok, it might have had something to do with the massive skirts restricting mobility & catching on fire easily, but still. bring back mantuas 2k21!
