Fashion Frivolity

Isadora · 06-02-2010, 05:27 PM

I was looking at lots of 50's fashions lately and a lot of them are 3/4 sleeves. I, too, have several LBDresses.

Sounds, lovely!

Gemme · 06-02-2010, 05:30 PM

I have short arms, so I love the 3/4 sleeves on shirts and dresses.

Lovely, that dress is very pretty! I'd have to have an a-line though I do love the color. It'd make my Washington white skin glow.

*hehe* I so hear you on that Gemme! A-line for sure! I do have some cocktail dresses that are "stove-pipe" - fit wise - but I do tend to aim for comfort and what looks best on my body.

Isadora? Do you like to wear long-sleeved gloves too? Those are really hard to find nowadays! I would love to have a black pair of them!!! Plus, I have been keeping a watch out for a black stole (<~ did I spell that right?) ... I would like one of those too, if I could find one!

I live in the Bay Area. Drag Queen heaven. I am lucky I can find gloves at The Piedmont in the Haight and Cliff's in the Castro. I have found them on line, too. Look for opera gloves on line. I love them. I wear satin gloves a lot. It is always colder in the evenings in the Bay Area. Keeps my hands warm.

Oh!!!! Thanks Isadora - I never thought to search for them under the "Opera Gloves" ... great idea!

LOL!

yes, `twas very beautiful! I Love the color of the tutu: I feel prettiest when I am wearing shades of blue!

waxnrope · 06-02-2010, 05:57 PM

I like wearing a tutu at the Do It Yourself Nutcracker in SF, even tho' I look like a badly done drag queen.
what thread is this? omg! sorry ... LOL

Nat · 06-02-2010, 06:35 PM

Thanks Isadora and ALovelyKiss - it seemed to say what I wanted about this thread - just a happy blue etsy tu-tu. I don't know if my tutu wearing days are over, but if I get a chance one day, I'll totally rock one anyway.

Maybe to pride, but not this year.

JustLovelyJenn · 06-02-2010, 09:53 PM

I am just IN LOVE with the long summer sundresses right now... I think I will be wearing them all summer...

hey y'all

Has anyone ordered plus sizes from The Pyramid Collection? If so, how "true" did you find the sizing to be? i know that different companies size differently, but in general, did you find the sizing to be in the ball park?

Some of their dresses make me drool, but am hesitant to order. Years ago (close to 8 or 9 probably) a friend ordered from them and the 2X was more like a medium, but i've heard through the webs that they've gotten better over the years.

Thanks for any help!

Massive · 07-28-2010, 10:31 PM

I've played with the idea of owning one of these, but mostly cos I've always wanted a kilt and the real ones cost a small fortune ... That and they can be a tad draughty around the nether regions if you wear them traditionally ...

Kätzchen · 07-29-2010, 03:50 PM

oh my Goddess, rav, I soOoOOoOOo wanna go shopping!
I have a dress like the black one featured on the link you left here!
*drool*

ps/ I've never ordered from them ever: me too, I wanna know about their sizing methods...
