I am totally in love with the 1960s cocktail dress. Course, I'd want slightly longer sleeves because I wouldn't want my upper arms to show. But I absolutely adore it.
ReplyDeleteAnd the pink suede shoes. I WANT THEM NOW!
What is it with shoes? I prefer to go barefoot and yet I love shoes. Hm - Perhaps I should ask Lord A about that one. I'm sure he'd have an amusing answer.
lovely dresses! i am especially loving the 1880s ballgown. those roses make it so unique.
ReplyDeleteThe Marc Bohan for Dior cocktail dress surely only works if you are armless, or hold your arms up like a scarecrow. otherwise the underarm flaps get squashed.
