I don't know if i would call it a coat. Maybe an overlay....or a two piece dress? sorry i don't have a good buzzword. It is too long to be a bolero...

Wait til someone else comes along with something more concrete...

 

Tricky isn't it? I don't know what to call it either other than, "get the HECK outta my closet!" ;)

 

hmmmmmm...."vest" just doesn't give the proper impression.

I think Chris' "lace overlay" sounds pretty good.

Sue

 

I think I'd call it a "sleeveless lace coat" or "sleeveless lace overcoat." Maybe a "long lace vest?"

Laura

 

Duster?

 

Should I mention it in the title? I feel like it's gonna take up alot of space & might be a turn off if people don't realize what it is.
Am I right on the 60's though?
And should I throw Gold Lamé in the title?

 

Tabard. although that implies a Renn Faire/Edwardian sensibility.

 

Hmmmmm... so should I throw Tabard in there?

 

Stunning outfit! I would say early sixties... Could you call it a lace wrap? Maybe use "cocktail" in the title? And I love your manni's hairdo by the way.

Carol

 

But a tabard is always one piece across the front and back and open at the sides, isn't it?

 

Thanks!
I wish my hair was like that!!!
Now that you mention it Cosmic, I think Tabards do. They're more associated with 20's flapper stuff too isn't it?

How about:

60's Gold Lamé Marilyn Dress w/Lace ........
uh......
with lac.........
uhhhhhhhhh
*blank*

 

I'm tempted to call it a lace "modesty" wrap. But frankly, the dress will sell itself. It's lovely. The lace overlay is an extra bonus in my opinion.

Aw thanks Carol! I hope so!
And I wuv yer little kitty kat icon!!! Is she a siamese ragdoll or persian?
I'm the owner of a verry frisky siamese apple head. And before her I had another apple head that lived to 25!

 

I would describe it as a dress with an lace overlay....


And no these are not proper keywords to use!!! Lace Overlay is what I meant!

How about:

Snazzy Gold Lame Cocktail Dress w/ Black Lace Coatee?

Hollis

 

Ooooooooooh yes!!!!!!!!
I love it!
