………………………The ART DECO PATTERNED DRESS, A259946, will be presented on my October, 27th, 1:00pm show. I love anything “ART DECO”……. According to Wikipedia….”Art Deco first appeared in France after WWI, and began to flourish internationally in the 20s, 30s and 40s before its’ popularity waned after WWII.The style is often characterized by rich colors, bold geometrics, and lavish ornamentation. During its’ heyday Art Deco represented LUXURY and GLAMOUR.”……When I think of Art Deco I think of the top of the Chrysler Building in NYC….with it’s Arcs all LIT UP in the night sky…….I truly don’t believe we have ever achieved the beauty and glamour of that period …..in all areas of design….Architecture, Furniture and Furnishings, Cars, Jewelry and Clothing….an on going inspiration……….a time gone by, but never forgotten………………………..
…………..This dress is my ode to Art Deco. The swirling pattern with the pin dot background is very reminiscent of that period. The fabric is a knit, very similar to the flame stitch fabric. There are PIN DOTS of lurex that glisten when caught by light…..like the Chrysler Building. The fabric is 87% nylon/8%metallic/5%spandex. The back of the fabric is silky smooth and the skirt portion of the dress is lined. There is a back invisible zipper, but some of you may be able to put it on over the head without opening the zipper….if you choose. The cap of the sleeve has shirring for a very feminine almost 40s look. The bottom of the sleeve is finished with shirring and a loose elastic. The neckline has a jewel shape……The dress skims the body, and then flares out and drapes at the hem creating a beautiful MOVEMENT. The XS dress measures approx 43 1/2 inches long…..The dress is sized S,M,L…This dress should not be limited to the evening only, though it certainly can be worn on dressier occasions…I think it can be appropriate for the office, depending on your position and the type of company. It is appropriate for a luncheon or a special dinner out…any occasion when you just want to look extra special……Certainly, with the Holidays soon approaching…..this would be just the right thing to slip on and go…..I see this dress worn with my new BLACK SHEER TIGHTS and a beautiful pointed toe BLACK SUEDE PUMP…..or my……BLACK OPAQUE TIGHTS and a slender HIGH HEEL or MID HEEL BLACK SUEDE BOOT………If I were still making shoes, and price were no object, I would have made SWIRLED PIECES of Spruce Green Python with Black markings, done in an open work pattern, in a shoe boot design to emulate the pattern of the ART DECO DRESS……..I am offering one color in this dress…………and it is a combination of…….Black, Stone, Green and a cross between Mulberry and Fuchsia……………colors very typical of the Art Deco period…especially jewelry…I finish it off with a single strand of my 72 inch green pearls. I know this dress is certainly not for everyone, and that for me, is not a negative. It is for those of you who know and love the Art Deco style or for those of you who are simply attracted by the beauty of the pattern and the interesting fabric it was printed on……all in all….IMHO…..a winning combination………………………..enjoy……………..much Love…………………Louis
