Wedding In The
Fall which,
as you can tell by the title, was also
worn to a
weddingwedding.
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)
For today's post, I'm sharing what I
wore to my friend's black tie optional
wedding last month,
