Metallic snaps, a firm shirred waist, and gathered sleeves that don't just sit there - facets of a dress fit for a smarter-than-Big Brother woman in a paperback science fiction novel. As a longtime fan of the genre, I saw an unintentional super hero disguised in this sleek dress, hacking computer systems that belonged to evil corporations and trekking through a distant, post-industrial Los Angeles. A cyborg cop captures a description of the unknown woman wearing a slate blue, lightweight cotton dress that glints with a subtle shimmer with each lithe movement. Little does anyone know, her name is Delphinium, and she's about to uncover a major brainwashing operation aimed at innocent consumers. Deep pockets are stealthily hidden, and in them my heroine keeps her spare identification chip and transcom full of hot information, not to mention keys, cash and lip gloss. In the unpredictable weather of the future, the asymmetric collar opens wide or buttons up, creating a versatile look.
