Let me preface with this: I am not a big fan of dresses. When given the opportunity, I will almost always reach for a pair of jeans instead—and if not something of the denim variety, another style of pants will be on my body. But, every now and then, I find something that compels me…

They use words like “psychedelic,” “abstract” and “swirly.” “You mean, tribal?” Mr. Bast responds. At this point, according to Mr. Bast, some of the customers recoil. No,…
