I try not to publish things that aren’t wearable, however this is something I’m making an exception for (thanks to Joanne!). Take a look — the color, the lines. It’s on eBay for a one more day or so, from the seller tiptoemole, who has a terrific providing for it.
It’s not wearable since of damage to the underarms — the silk is splitting, which is always sad. however part of the appeal of gowns is that they are ephemeral; whenever you wear them their lives are shortened. gowns are consumed, slowly, by their wearers.
Okay, now that I’ve made myself maudlin as well as melancholy on a bright November morning, go look at this dress. Go bid, as well as then you can have it as an objet d’art. You can even do what I do, which is have a crazy gown on a vintage gown type clutting up your living room. Mine is pink with a beaded sweetheart bodice. With a monkey mask on top. (Monkey mask optional.)
I was going to make the photo a truly frustrating animated one to ensure that you might see the back, which is low cut as well as double-breasted (and sadly, missing buttons) however I refrained. Which indicates now you have to go inspect out the auction listing. Go on. Go see!
