I thought I was done showing you fashions from this year's Costume Institute show at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. But here's one more: this beautiful c. 1938 black lace dress with a die-cut, hand-assembled white-linen corsage from—who else?—Coco Chanel. [To see more of the Thursday Challenge, go here.] |

I really wouldn’t know, but couldn’t this almost be worn today? For perspective, I thought to go back as far before this as this is before our time. I expected some major culture shock and found it, but that 1861 black number down there isn’t bad.
ReplyDeleteI guess we could call your photo one of those that are black & white in color.
I agree with Gary that it could be worn today. I just LOVE this dress, and would have bought it when younger, or even now if I could squeeze into it....
ReplyDeleteOh wow what a gorgious dress.... I would like to wear it, would lose the corsage ofcourse ;-)
