This is the type of thing I point to when people tell me fashion isn’t art. I wouldn’t be shocked if somebody told me that this gown complied with the golden Ratio. It’s so gorgeous that I just sat, mesmerized, gazing at it on my screen for a bit while, as well as only the incessant ringing of my phone drew me out from under its spell.
I would like to make this dress, if only to have it hang on a gown type in my space for the rest of its life. I don’t believe I might wear it, since I truly don’t have a 1930s-type physique, unless by “1930s-type physique” you are believing of Margaret Dumont, as well as not Myrna Loy.
The bidding on this (click on the picture to go to the eBay auction) is as much as about $28 now, as well as I can’t picture it’s going to choose much less than $50. rather a few 1930s patterns hit $100, these days. however it’s B35 (very reasonable!) as well as so unutterably stunning … you might always validate it as an objet d’art.
Many thanks to Marie Christopher for the link!
