I love how you've placed that image/s on your Twitter background. It's simply stunning.

Funny thing is, I ended up shooting 2 30s dresses today...both velvet, one purple and one green! Makes me want to get this printed up a few times and do my shop window w/ the image and the 2 dresses.....

Risque, isn't it?

So French. I have always loved this color combination inordinately. I think that would make for a marvelous display color story, Ang.

 

[Catbooks1940s]

yes, that peek of side cleavage is definitely risque for those times!

 

[dorotheascloset]

Its crazy, isn't it? I did a double take...wasn't sure I was seeing that in a 30s Vogue!

It would be a cool window, would have to be very short lived for fear of fade though.... :(

Just gorgeous! I love 30s fashions - and some of them were quite risqué. It's something that strikes me too when I watch old 30s movies... saw one a few weeks ago where you briefly saw a dancer while she was changing - she was just in her bra (how modern!) and knickers.

:adore: .... That is one sinfully gorgeous dress. And some people wonder why folks like us "like that old stuff."

Makes me want to locate a pattern like it, start sewing again, and also locate my old figure so I could wear it.
