My gorgeous friend Christine was supposed to attend Zang Toi’s “Lone Star Cowboy & the Texas Rose”-themed show with me on September 16, but something suddenly came up, as Greg Brady would say. So I took Christine to Zang’s showroom a couple of days later, accompanied by gorgeous blogger Jennine of The Coveted. Christine picked out a dress from the show but chose all new colors for her version. (I won’t give away her look until the dress is done.) Zang is so great about customizing. While that was going on, Jennine and I tried on the Stetson hats from the runway.
Urban cowgirls.
I just couldn’t quit the cowboy-printed dress I admired on the runway, so I tried it on. Zang and his assistant Sisi used about 100 pins to show me what it would look like in my size.
Zang is behind me, doing the pinning. That's his leg on the right.
Please note the hemline dragging on the ground despite my 5″ platform heels. Now look at where the hem hit the runway model … above the ankle!
On the runway.
If this model wore a miniskirt, I could probably wear it as a maxi dress. There was a pair of pants that went up to my chin — no exaggeration!
That dress is perfect for you!!!
I really hope you’re getting that dress! It is so YOU!
wendy you can make anything look like a million dollars. even a dress that is too long!
i also love the hat:) you and jennine are a hoot:)

It’s perfect for you …
You always have such an individual taste in dresses and I agree with the people above this is SO YOU!

I WAS wearing heels. It has to be hemmed.
That is the perfect cowboy dress for you, ADORE. I think I’ve still got sample pants from a show that were fitted on Nadja Auermann – they drag about two inches behind me.
That’s SUCH a Wendy dress! How fun and fabulous! Have a great weekend Wendy!
Giddy up! I hope that you and Jennie wore those hats out and about NYC.

Zang Toi is so awesome – how fun is an over the top americana cowboy dress!? The hats look great on both of you!
Something to wear to the Cattle Barrons Ball in Dallas, maybe?
dang! she is T-A-L-L!!!!!
hope you have a fab weekend!
yee HAW!
Thank you so much for taking me to meet the wonderful Zang Toi and his lovely assitant Sisi. I loved meeting Jennine, who wore the most gorgeous dress and is so fun.
I was like a kid in a candy store at Zang’s studio. I can’t wait to get my customized Zang dress.
Wendy looked amazing in the cowboy dress. I tried on the cowboy caftan, with 4 inch heels. I was about 5’10″ then and the caftan would have to be cut about 4 more inches.
I saw a Fall 2010 dress, that I think Wendy has ordered. I loved it, but Wendy told me if I got it, we’d have to go out wearing the dresses together and I think it would be very easy to see “who wore it best”!
Oh em gee – spam word: fabulush!!!
You look AMAZE in this dress & the length makes it even more glamorous <3
very cute! and i love that dress!
Great dress – I know the feeling with the hemlines.
You and Jennine are adorable. I’m totally coveting that dress now too.
