Fashion Faceoff: Ashlee vs. Tori (vs. Me!)

12/22/2006 at 12:02 PM ET

I grew up in Texas like Ashlee, and I dote on my pug like Tori — it evens turns out that I own the same adorable paisley Free People velvet tunics as they do. But, that (and my non-celeb status) is where the similarities end. Both Ashlee and Tori treat this piece like a dress, just wearing it over tights — while I pair mine with leggings or jeans, because it is simply too short to wear with stockings! If I bent over in my dress without something very opaque on underneath, I would risk some very indecent exposure. My hat off to these ladies if they have figured out something about keeping covered in a micro-mini that I haven’t (and kudos to Tori for not just sticking to maternity wear). This is a whole new dimension of super-short hemlines. Tell us: Would you wear a dress this short without pants? Who wears it better: Ashlee or Tori? — Melissa Liebling-Goldberg

ashley looks better here …

Can’t get over how different Ashlee looks, everytime i see a picture of her i just freak out. She doesn’t look the same at all!! But the dresses look nice on both of them.

I think Ashlee looks cute, except for the hat/scarf/whatever, it makes her head look funny. The fishnets are a bit much, but otherwise it looks cute on Tori too. I think it’d be adorable with a pair of dark blue jeans. For everyone asking why you’d wear a dress with pants, the answer is: You wouldn’t, but this is a tunic (ask is clearly stated in the description of the photo) so therefore it is made to be worn with pants.

It looks like something my grandmother use to wear over her Sunday dress while she was cooking! Don’t care for it on either girl!

A little too mini for my taste but I’m picking Ashlee b/c I can’t stand Tori. Let’s face it, her hubby didn’t pick her for her looks. He picked her for who her daddy is. I’d say he was hoping to make it big in one of his shows. He prob wasn’t doing all that good up here in Canada. Well, fools on him, cause daddy is no longer here.

Free People has awesome clothing – beautiful details and excellent quality. Their material always feels great, no wonder celebrities are wearing it! You can also buy Free People clothing at http://www.candicescloset.com

This dress is definitely too short to wear over leggings, no matter how substantial the leggings or stockings may be. I would venture the opinion that neither of them look better in the tunic/dress because it looks rather shapeless on both of them and seems to billow out over the torso and settle unbecomingly on the hips.

I hate to say, but they are both ugly. You can’t do anything clothes wise to these two, that could make them look any worse. Maybe the dress is really nice, but you’d never know it based on what it’s surrounded by.

I have this tunic!!!! I wear it over jeans bc it is VERY short

rachel b. on February 4th, 2007

No, way! The dress is too short for me. Tori looks better than Ashlee.
