Two Killer Oscar Dresses –– Really

But tonight I have something a little special. Two dresses that were
worn to the academy awards. Some of you who are into clothing and
construction might enjoy seeing them. They're quite beautiful.
I have a great customer in Wyoming who somehow knows someone large in
the movie business. She hasn't told me who –– and I haven't asked. But
she sent me these dresses explaining what they were and asked me to pass
the malong to my shop girl for the prom .

I believe both dresses were worn within the last three years and

by the same woman. My customer has really become a valued friend over the

couple of years and when she emailed me about them she just explained that

had a friend in Hollywood who had worn these dresses to the Academy Awards

sent them on to her.
I called the sage dress the Gwyneth dress because it really looked like

dress Gwyneth wore the night she won the oscar. But wasn't hers pink? So I
don't know who actually wore them. i just know that the lady they came

no reason to tell me the background. I probably would have responded to

knowing nothing about them.
So now I have these two beautiful dress that I can't sell. Yikes. She sent

black silk number with an asymetrical hem that's a major drooler. If you

like seeing the special things from time to time. I'll do this more often.

I've always thought it was kind of sad that we couldn't post images here
on alt.fashion because over the years I've had a ton of neat stuff. I
was also in the forefront of the battle to keep af free of ebay
listings. But it was really the right thing to do.

While Cheryl Ann's a terrific kid there's no way she's getting into
either of these. And I think I know of a museum in the midwest who'll
want them. If you're into great clothes, subtle details and great
construction. These'll be right up your alley.
I've posted them to the fashiontrac chat site with a similar
explanation. You'll have to jump to the link from there. But it explains
the construction.
Here's a link. Sorry for the jumps. But I think you'll find their worth
seeing.

See, this is why I could never be in the business you are in. I need to know
the history of everything. I'd get too hung up on the history of the actual
garment than the garment itself! Think of the stories that the garments
you've had could tell! ;)
