With the abysmal slush that’s falling ’round here, I am doing all I can to think warm thoughts. Add to that the fact that our only car just died quite completely, and you’ve got a perfect recipe for an absolutely terrible day. The good news is that I don’t have anywhere I need to go this very moment, meaning I have the luxury of sitting here, drinking coffee, and losing myself in pretty gowns. Nothing brightens up a blah day quite like a really colorful, beautiful gown, am I right?
So let’s give Twistie’s color wheel find a spin and see what we come up with.
A gown named Bird of Paradise is EXACTLY what I need right now. I think I’d have a seamstress pull off the filmy overlay on the skirt, if at all possible, because it seems almost tacked on as an afterthought and takes away from the loveliness of the bodice’s top. Anyhoo, you can thank British designer Catherine Davighi for this stunning piece of sultry bridocity.
