DETACHABLE. SKIRT. I am sold! What starlet HASN’T thought, “Everyone keeps treading on my train! If only I could just RIP IT OFF like a pair of tear-away track pants!” But the difference between those starlets and Brynne is that she actually went out and made a gown into what is essentially tear-away track pants, and we are all the richer for it.
