It was late last year when I first saw neoprene being used for everyday clothing.
What used to be known as a material used for scuba suits was suddenly appearing as boxy tops, full skirts, shift dresses and coats.
I thought it would be a quick fad, but after a year, neoprene is still around. And now, they're printed, pin-tucked and prettier. Just check out these items from SM Department Store.
This dress looks like silk from afar, but once you come nearer, you see how the thick, neoprene holds the shape of the dress. The seaming is highlighted with black thread, which gives it a more contemporary look.
The pleating on the skirt also adds a point of interest. It's almost like a tulip skirt, albeit fuller and more feminine.
The same silhouette was available in another print, one that's quieter and more classic.
They look like Iris, and it gives the dress a very Van Gogh look and feel.
The effect on the skirt works very well with the print.
With dresses like these, it's really easy to preen in neoprene.
