i am lucky none of it fits...i would be a bankrupt woman.

 

ohhhhhhhh that golden dragon damask dress is a knockout, and I'm not usually partial to this style.

Jonathan, any info on the label of the first dress, Madeleine Casalino?

Sue

 

I must say.. I'm with Sue...

for some reason, that golden Asian damask dress just HIT me.

Something about that neckline, I think , that just really appeals to me....

Excellent selection of items, Jonathan. I envy you your sources!

I didn't find much on Casalino, just a footnote in the ROM Haute Couture book. SHe designed for her Italian husband's atelier since the end of WW2.

 

All so beautiful!!!
