Balenciaga evening dress, 1951

UGH GORGEOUS GET ON ME
no okay serious can somebody explain to me how one is supposed to wear a jumpsuit in a casual day to day situation? Like in the summer? Going about your errands or whatever? Because, right, I love me a sexy catsuit, don’t get me wrong, but a jumpsuit made of a non-clinging, non-fetish fabric, that a normal human is supposed to wear in public? HOW?
WHAT IF YOU NEED TO PEE??? DON’T YOU HAVE TO GET NAKED IN THE BATHROOM???

goddamn this is hoooooottt
Y’all are AMAZING. TwilaTee just sent me a link to her dress diary for her Snow White cosplay, and it’s pretty intense to see my scribbly embroidery designs so accurately realized in an actual costume.
If I ever do an art book collecting my princesses, I’d love the chance to include all of the outstanding costumes that people are making as well- they blow me away.
okay where is that gif of that dude from avatar foaming at the mouth and collapsing??
This is the big ticket item I bought at ECCC: a gold bodice jacket thing for $150. It is a little hard to tell but it’s got tonal roses textured on it and it’s pretty and gold and i LOVE EET! I have this crazy red peplum corset thing but my boobs are waaaay too big and I got waaaay too fat for it like YEARS ago. But the fabulous skirt my friend Regan made from my designs - I sewed on the ribbon and bobble trims, though. And the purple floofy shirt was a proper renfaire purchase. Now all I need to complete my outfit are some ribbony cuff things for my sleeves (with hidden pockets maybe?) and some pouchy pocket things for each of my hips and a belt. And shoes, but, well. Anyway, FABULOUS OUTFIT ACQUIRED. As you can see, I am a model.

More to come on this!
Today was Ralph, by the way. And checks.

PS: I wish to possess this dress. I’m not sure if I want to put it on a dress form and treat it like sculpture or if I actually want to wear it but I feel like having it would demonstrably improve my life. That I know my feelings to be false in no way invalidated my levels of coveting.
I remember these. Bottom right is SICK.EN.ING.
I’ve got a formal wedding to go to in June. Sucks I’m not A FRILLIONARE so I could get the top left to wear to the reception.
