The Blue Gardenia
What would Claire wear? Emulate the strapless silver bombshell dress. March 21, 2015 19:53
Did you fall in love with Claire's stunning strapless silver dress? I did. Definitely clothing as armor. If you want this dress at a fraction of the cost, consider Donna Karan's Vogue 2470 from 1990. View B, of course. (Although A is gorgeous, and it would make a perfect LBD. Double the style. Double your money. I love it when that happens!)
Pattern perfection, if I do say so myself.
The line drawing.I would choose this silver linen lame from Mood. They have many other silver lame choices if this is not to your liking.
$21.99 a yard. It is, alas, polyester.Do check Monday when I will post The Blue Gardenia give-away winner.
And if you want this marvelous pattern, look no further than The Blue Gardenia!
