OK, Jake's sick with the chicken pox, I've got a fever (I hope to goodness I don't get shingles as I've already had chicken pox when I was 16!) and am bored so I'm debating about keeping one of the dresses I got on my last stock buying trip.
It's a late 50's- early 60's day dress made from acetate faille. It's got a neat kind of "peg top" pocket front which you think would make youlook big in the hips, when in fact it's actually quite slimming, especially when you sit down.
One of the reasons why I'm debating keeping it is that I don't think it will fit many people and that I'm going to have problems with returns on it due to the extremely fitted hourglass shape on the bodice and the tall yet shortwaisted proportions of it. It's hell to get on as it's so fitted but once it's on, it fits me perfectly.
Although the measurements are seem largish (41" bust, 33" waist so it fits me 40"- 32" perfectly), the dress isn't (if that makes sense) due to how it's cut.
LOL, I think I should just save myself any hassle with unhappy customers an keep it to wear myself to Edwin's vintage shows!
