Sometimes, desires outweigh necessities...case in point, I just couldn't say no to this incredible late 1920s "bow" gown. Uh, hello, Schiaparelli-inspired trompe-l'oeil front bow!?!?! Whaaaaaaa!
thanks!!! I almost fell out of my chair when I saw it. Miracle of miracles, it is supposed to be my exact size (hasn't arrived yet). Now I have to plan an outing worthy of this beauty!!!
Omg, I love Love LOVE that. Ghastley green with envy! I have dream of knitting a version of the Schiaparelli one day (pattern courtesu of the V&A) I can't wait to see the post of you modelling it!
wowee, thank you all! I promise to post pics of myself in it as soon as I'm able (unless I decide to save it for wear during a special deco weekend this fall)!!! xoxo

I actually have the Schiaparelli trompe l'oeil sweater in my Ravelry queue; I'm just a little afraid of the Armenian technique...
love, love, love, love, love!!!!!

That's GORGEOUS. I have a picture of the Schiaparelli sweater on a human in one of my fashion books.
Wow! That is gorgeous and so interesting! I can't wait to see what it looks like on you!
This is what makes vintage fashion SO much fun!
