When you get down to the details, which accentuate the "you look like a beautiful blonde pineapple" effect of the dress (bonus points to people who can identify the quote!). Although the gathered ruffles of tulle are too much for the elegance I believe this dress is trying to achieve, the effect of the bands of satin trim on the tulle is lovely. Upon closer inspection, they must have been handsewn with a zigzag stitch.
I guess the minutia of almost anything can sometimes take your breath away.. I'm still not sure whether I think this dress is fabulous or truly awful, but I kind of love it like sherbet balls melting into 7up punch...
Ha! I don't remember who said it, but was it directed at Frenchy?
ReplyDeleteThe sherbet dress is pretty cool! I love the orangey-peach bodice. One of my college roommates had a 50s pink tulle confection of a party dress (complete with pink rhinestones scattered over the tulle overlay!) that she scored on ebay -- it was fairly deteriorated but still beautiful in an over-the-top kind of way.
Truly a beautiful disaster! I can't wrap my head around that overly of horizontal detailing...so bizarre.
ReplyDeleteI love to revisit something that I can't move beyond..sherbet, yes sherbet is exactly what this dress is, yummy and weird at the same time. The floating side accents...a little addition to push this baby further. I think it's worthy of dreaming about!
