A Perris from Paris
I don’t typically begin out by showing you the back of a dress, however the back of this gown is the whole point. look at that–I don’t even understand what to phone call it! Tail? Peplum? Bustle? Whatever it is, it’s 100% pure drama, as well as not the poor online-journal kind.
Even better, this gown is up for auction by HousingWorks (thanks, Margaret, for the link!) the nyc charity that works to offer housing as well as services for homeless people living with HIV as well as AIDS. They have a number of thrift stores in NY, as well as run the housing works utilized Bookstore as well as cafe (where, incidentally, I will be June 11th for the Literary magazine Festival–show as much as search the numerous literary magazines on sale for $2, all proceeds go to housing Works! wear a gown as well as I’ll provide you a totally free pen.)
Back to the dress. The label is “Bernard Perris, Paris” as well as its measurements are provided as “28 waist, 32 shoulders, 32 bust, 38 hips, 35 length” which seems suspiciously little in the bust for a dolman-sleeved dress, particularly compared to the hip measurement (you’d expect at least at 34 or 36 inch bust) however complete stranger things have happened. Bidding best now is at $116.50, not whatsoever poor for a gown this interesting! Go click on the picture to see the front of the gown as well as views of the cuffs as well as underside of the peplum.
I have to state I’m fascinated by this style element, as well as I am not even a huge fan of the sheath-and-overskirt look. It just seems so fun to wear! I can see somebody in this gown at a congested party, laughing, drink in hand, as well as each time she moves that peplum flares out as well as flashes white. Can’t you? Is it going to BE you?
