Now, for the past six
years, I have had seven
dresses that I always wear for formal events (black - tie, weddings): (1) a long sleeved, high - necked, knee length black lace
dress by Lover, whose darts I removed entirely so that it falls straight from my shoulders to hips to knees in a very loose, comfortable cut (no need to pull any waists in, and I can eat as much as I like) that I made an underskirt for, so it can also be calf length (2) an ivory version of the same above, with the optional lace underskirt (3) an amazingly intricate ivory leather macrame flapper
dress uner which I wear a dark brown long, stretch singlet
dress (so comfortable again)(4) a vermillion small V - neck, long bell sleeved, straight cut, long, widens - at - the -(just above ankle) hemline
dress I sewed in the most gorgeous lace for twenty dollars (5) a burgundy lace version of the vermillion lace
dress in (4)-- for the same price (6) a knee length, Romance Was Born silk
shift three sizes up so it sits away from the waist — again — its all about «a'll the better to eat dinner with, my dear», in a huge, wild sunflower graphic print before graphic prints were trendy: it's giant sunflowers against an intense turquoise background (7) a calf length caftan cut
dress that I made from Japanese printed silk my mother had bought and kept for sixty
years (it's just a giant square with a hole fro my neck and two for my arms, and has the best drape EVER owing to its being silk)
