60Don't let the generic title fool you: David John Swajeski's documentary tells a story you're unlikely to forget.
-
50An uplifting story to be sure, but director-producer David Swajeski doesn't do it justice.
-
40Tracks the race-to-the-deadline scramble of a personable young designer preparing an underfunded fashion show, but offers few threads that were not already more solidly and stylishly woven into "Unzipped," "Seamless" or "11 Hours."
-
40Even those viewers who share the film's conviction that preparing a collection for New York Fashion Week is inherently fascinating may lose interest long before the final frock is fitted.
-
40Big on emotional highs but skimpy on details, Dressed rallies behind the orphan but fails to reveal the artist.
