This time, I wore the dress alone with just a silk sash wrapped around my waist and shoulders in a way that is similar to these illustrations. I've read that this revolutionary fad was known as croisures à la victime, making a symbolic "x-marks the spot" on a woman's back.I'm not sure if this is true or just a fashion myth, but here's an interesting webpage about it.
I also wore my new-and-improved paisley shawl. After I wore it last month, I decided to buy a second shawl that was the same as the first and sew them together to make one super-long shawl, which is much more appropriate for this era. I'm so much happier with it now, and it might be my new favorite accessory ever. I also wore my turban from the first wearing of this dress, but I left off the wheat spray so I wouldn't be as likely to knock things over with my crazy headwear in the booths while shopping.
I didn't buy very much this time at the show, but I had fun hanging out with some friends, lusting over the gorgeous fur muffs and seeing all the antique dresses. And as always, it was wonderful to have an excuse to dress up. Here are a few more pictures of my dress just for the heck of it.
How very pretty. I wondered about the wraparound I've seen on a few dresses lately. The contrast btn the white and red is perfect. And when something is so beautiful, you MUST wear it more often!

You look ravishing! I envy you your sewing and costuming skills.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you've tied your sash! And your shawl is perfect.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely, Hope you had a fab day.
ReplyDeleteExcellent insights in this post! While researching mutual funds, I came across the SBI Quant Fund and found its strategy of using quantitative models quite intriguing. Unlike traditional funds, it removes emotional bias, which could be helpful for new investors. I also looked into the SBI Mutual Fund Regular Fund, and it seems like a solid pick for long-term investing through SIP. Many experts even list it among the Best SIP choices for disciplined investors. Has anyone here already invested in it? Curious to hear how it's performing in current market conditions.

ReplyDeleteI love how you’ve found different ways to style the same gown rather than letting it feel repetitive. That idea of adapting what you already have also applies to the home, where thoughtful choices can make everyday spaces both comfortable and practical.
