Elegant and sophisticated, this 16 inch
square black silk pillow is equally suited to a formal living room, bedroom, or more casual living space.
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)
In Prototypen, four
silk screens — a green triangle, a gray lozenge, a blue isosceles triangle and a small
black square — represent Palermo's brand.
The white stripes have a
silk sheen when viewed from a distance and the
black ones, made of tiny acrylic
squares that resemble sequins, twinkle as you move around.
