I had a dress like that in my ball-going youth, complete with fishtail! I loved it.
I made something similar for my four-year old daughter's 'dressing-up', using coarse silver theatrical net for the fishtail. Well, it must have been stiffened with fish glue, because next morning the cats had nibbled chunks from it. I was cross but my daughter was thrilled: she said "they must have thought it was a real fish!"
I am a passionate treasure huntress addicted to "the thrill of the hunt." I pride myself on finding unique items and have spent a lifetime collecting unusual and interesting "treasures" which I have used in decorating our home. I shop with an eye for design and look for pieces that I like to call the "jewelry" of the room. Those pieces that have been around accumulating energy thereby bringing life into a space by telling its story or evoking a memory. The allure is found in the details of its journey... condition, provenance and patina. Our collected "treasures" tell the story of who we are. Billy Baldwin said it best, "Decorating is never successful unless it is personal." My treasures are available for purchase in my Etsy Shop and on my companion blog, Shop La Dolfina. The links can be accessed from my sidebar.
"All of life is about energy. It's about the energy that you're putting out; energy that you're drawing to yourself, every day, based on the way you think about your life & the actions that you take. Everybody is an energy field. And because of your attitude, your thinking, your actions; who you choose to be in the world, forms your own field. You are drawing into your field people who are like you... to remind you, to show you, to reflect back to you- who you are. Believe that or not, that is what is happening all the time... and it does not require your belief. It just is. It. Just. Is." -Oprah

i have seen this before, but it still takes my breathe away :)
Such exquisite beauty...............you just started my day perfectly. Much love Xo
Hate to be the only one, but I find this dress unattractive. The bra/corset look does not flow well with the remainder of the design.
Amazing photo, the styling, everything! Exquisite!
