At Ylli in Brooklyn, I walked into the dressing room with my arms full of dresses, but everything I tried on had just a little something wrong with it—until I slipped on a stretchy navy-blue tube dress from Everlast by Norma Kamali. On the hanger, this polyester and spandex piece resembled a banded-waist skirt. But on me, the heavy fabric draped exquisitely and hugged my body in all the right places. Though the dress was simple, it could be dressed up and accessorized—a perfect basic piece. 482 Driggs Ave., nr. N. 10th St., Williamsburg, Brooklyn; 718-302-3555.
