While it's pretty easy to wear 60s and 70s clothing all the time, as you start to look for older pieces, it's hard to know when the hell you are ever going to wear them. If you wear a 1920's dropwaist dress, are you going to look like Ma Barker? Or worse yet, Ruth Buzzi as Gladys Ormphby on Laugh-In with the hairnet pulled down onto her forehead? If you look like Uma Thurman, this is not a concern but since only Uma Thurman looks like Uma Thurman, you have to do some work to keep you from looking like a museum exhibit. First, a pair of Sonia Rykiel heeled Mary Janes will bring it up. Low heeled oxfords will look like orthopedic shoes with this dress - even Chanel pumps would work. A pair of Heidi Nahser earrings that look like small planets out of the silent movie 'Metropolis', and a tiny little Chloe handbag with bracelet handle. An exquisite silk crepe de chine and silk lace shift with a dropped waist and matching belt. As glossy as the skin and hair of a wild pony, the midsection is channel-stitched solid silk and the bodice is ruched between the breasts. V neck and a slight notch in the nape, this slips on over the head with no closures and has elbow length sleeves that are full with narrow cuffs at the end. Extremely lightweight yet rich in color, the gloss of the brown silk is a great foil for gold. Bust measures 40", shoulder to shoulder 15.5", outer sleeve 14", hips 40" and total length 52.5". Please keep in mind that this should fit loosely so we recommend you be a tall 6 or very slender 8 for the right fit. Excellent, if not flawless, condition with the exception of a few stones missing on the belt buckle. $645.00 |
