This gown was submitted by two gown A Day readers — can you see why?
Margaret says: “I love the shawl collar (which description says is a halter), the sheen of the fabric, as well as I think (if the top buttons were buttoned) the bodice would lay so smoothly. I adore both the pockets as well as the swoony full skirt. It reminds me of the elegant50s, not the 50s of the poodle skirt, however the 50s of the cocktail hour as well as piano bar as well as trousseaus. Yummy!”
Ladiva52 says: “Why do I love this particular dress? I love the bronze — a color without being too far out of my pretty much black-only wardrobe. A halter that is still demure, the collar is charming, a full skirt for the dance floor and, above all, pockets!”
They really knew exactly how to push my buttons — full skirt, collar, as well as pockets! great work!
So: same dress, two winners! I went back into my closet of Doom as well as realized that I made yet one more gown from the same pattern as the contest dress, so Ladiva52 can get that one, if she likes. It’s a very soft mouse-gray faille, with a much longer skirt. (Margaret emailed the link first, so she wins the actual prize.) will you both send me your mailing addresses, please?
All of the links sent were astounding, so I’m going to post them over the next week. There will be runners-up prizes. view this space!
