N.t.B. and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Rainy Day
By Never teh BrideWater is currently sloshing downward from the roof, through the upstairs neighbor’s stairwell, through one of the walls of my kitchen, and down into the kitchen of the neighbor below. Time for my landlord to mobilize his ragtag crew of maintenance men? Maybe. Paint is actually bubbling and when you poke the bubbles, water comes streaming out. This is not a good way to start a long day.
I have but mere seconds to spare, as I must go bail out my hallway. So here, for your enjoyment, is a picture of a bias cut silk gown by Natalia Misslin:

Oh my goodness that is beautiful. If I did not already have my dress, I would be after that one. Of course, I being probably three inches shorter and forty pounds heavier than that model might not look quite so much like a Grecian goddess in it.
I hope that the mess in your kitchen gets sorted out, and that it stops raining soon both inside and out.

Oh. My. Goodness. NtB, I think that may be the most beautiful, no, stunning, wedding gown I’ve ever seen! Just unbelievable. (I’m not getting married, but still can’t help wondering if the designer would consider doing something like it in a silk/linen fabric.)
Sorry about the Wet Miserable Day–hope the cleanup is not awful and not too much damage is done!!

Oooh, that gown is so Madeline Vionnet! I adore her work. That’s exquisite.
Best of luck with the plumbing and paint problems. Here’s hoping your landlord is better than my old one.
(drools more over the gown)

Wow, that is beautiful, if I weren’t having a Renaissance wedding I would definitely wan that dress. It’s simple, yet elegant and statuesque. I’m praying your day gets better!

Ugh Neveh. That sort of thing happened at my work in which the AC unit overflowed somehow, and it drained onto the ceiling of the bathroom, then leaked down into the paint, causing weird balloon looking things that eventually burst, sending water everywhere. It required a total retexture/repaint of the surface. With luck, you will get some upgrades out of it!!

White color has its own charm,especially on a bride it seems like heaven smokes.

Anon, there’s an email address at the bottom of Natalia Misslin’s site where you can ask questions about the different designs and presumably find out more about how to order a dress remotely. Good luck!
