look at this stunning set that Mary Beth sent to my attention. Isn’t it amazing? The jacket comes off and there’s a cute little low-backed gown under it. picture it with a tight marcel wave and Fred Astaire attentively handing you a cocktail. I love, love, love the quilting at the hem and have resolved to do that kind of mock-trapunto work on a skirt soon, if not immediately.
It’s at vintage Martini, click on the image to check out the page listing. It’s a B32, and it’s $425, and it’s missing a button, but I wish I could get it just to look at it every once in a while, and think of the Busby Berkley dance scene that would take place on the terrace while this dress was being worn on the balcony. I’m pretty sure it would involve gigantic mock champagne bottles and feathers, aren’t you?
