British mid-market label Reiss (touted as the DKNY of England) has a few lovely silk spring dresses that I find cute, but I like none of them more than this one:
In fact, when I was thinking of a spring silk dress, this dress (named Jillian, as if it were a person) is exactly what came to mind. It looks kind of poochy and loose on the model (the perils of being twig-like), but if it were on someone with a more hourglass type figure to fill it out, or if it were tailored so that it's less of a sack and the waist actually came in a bit, it'd be perfect. It's not super colorful, but somehow it's still very spring to me. There are other variations, such as this one, called Fabiola:
But it's cotton, not silk, and just doesn't grab me as much as Jillian. But maybe a lot of people say that. :)
