Now this is what I’m speaking about

This is what I believe of when I believe “1930s evening gown.” The sleeves! The covered buttons! The ribbon along the bottom of the bolero! Even, I need to admit, the butt-bow! (Somehow the butt-bow right here isn’t as shudder-inducing as it must be; this need to be the source from which ten thousand regrettable bridesmaids gowns mutated as well as began shuffling across the gown landscape like polyester zombies.)

Never mind that I, personally, would look like I was in (bad, fraternity-pledge-hazing) drag if I used this — the excellence of this as an objet d’art trumps any type of petty worries of simple suitability for my phenotype.

And this gown has the added excitement of being a realio-trulio secret dress! Yes, the Drexel university historic costume Collection (click on the picture to go there) is trying to find assist in sourcing this dress. Do you understand who the designer is? email them. tell them A gown a Day sent you. They’ll have no concept what that means, however it seems good.
