A Dress A Day

A dress.
Mostly every day.

I don't know much about art, but I know what I like


ebay item 8305987417

Check out this amazing painting, "Shirtwaists" by James Rieck. Click on the image to see his other work. I love this realler-than-real style and the headless bodies. And, of course, the dresses.

Thanks to George Spencer for the link!

    Some of the dresses are beautiful, and one of the Vintages would be great for Gothic Miss Manners.

    Check it out when you get a sec, y'all.

    I love these dresses. When I was in high school, I had a shirtwaist dress pattern (Vogue, of course) almost exactly like this (as I recall, it did not button all the way to the hem; but that was 46 years ago so my memory might be a little off). I do remember making it up in a green stripe. I have looked for a similar pattern for years.
