Merry Christmas and Guess Who

[claireshaeffer]

All good wishes to all--members and friends of VFG for a happy holiday and a healthy, successful 2015.
Here is a dress I bought recently. Who is the designer? Date?

If you saw the listing, please don't tell.

All the best to each of you.
Claire

I saw it on FB too... no idea right now .

The only name that popped in my mind is Mr Blackwell.

Bill Blass? 80s?

Hope you are having Happy Holidays too, Claire!

Oscar De La Renta? 1980s?

I am going to stick my neck out on this one... I think it has to be Oscar de la Renta - who else would mix patterns and lace together like that to create a conservative, but lady-like Bohemian cocktail dress - that's SO Oscar.

80s Christian Lacroix

 

[Jonathan]

Okay, I change my mind - Lacroix is a better possibility.

Alice wins--congrats!
Best wishes to all, claire

Well done Alice!

I didn't even think of Lacroix but you're totally right - it makes sense when you say it. Congrats!

 

[poppysvintageclothing]

for Alice!!!! It is an odd mixture isn't it?

 

[Midge]

Should've thought of that...

 

[Jonathan]

I know, as soon as Alice said it, I realized it was the most likely answer...
