Yep, in the bewildering decline of AnthroTaste, they have now sunk to a new low: the mini-maxi caftan. It's a maxi; it's a mini' it's a caftan all rolled into one. And, it is not just ugly girls, it is expensive! Each one clocks in at $310. Yikes.
Poor things aren't even named, and there is minimal AnthroBlather about them and not one review. Why no reviews? They are only available online!! Crazy man. The mini-maxi, which sounds like a serious feminine product, is not generally a lock for the fashion forward unless AnthroLand is attempting a fashion foray into a line called The Emperor Has No Clothes.
This drapey, deep-v dress is cut from a vintage pattern and crafted from vintage material; it's a limited edition find for true retrophiles. An Anthropologie exclusive from SOR Select by Some Odd Rubies.
Now, I looove vintage as much as anyone (anyone who loves vintage). It is one of the reasons I was drawn to Anthropologie in the first place, vintage inspirations with a quirky quaintness. But Mrs. Ropers wardrobe(that's a Three's Company reference for the young and/or clueless) is generally not desirable vintage for, no not retrophiles, vinties. Get the cutsie little terms right, please!
If you are going to retrophit and steal from different eras, then let's go back to the oldies and goodies. But, that sounds like fodder for another post. Here is the visual evidence of Anthro run amuck.
