. . I actually stumbled across this dress in April 06 and it was originally $400~ already on sale and the guy said he’d give it to me for $350… right before Kathy and I went on our Caribbean cruise… I thought I could come back, but we ended up not having time on our return through Miami to Las Vegas.
. . The shop was wonderful, in the lovely Gables Shopping District, Miami, Florida, and I don’t think it had two of any dress, and there was someone on hand to help with anything, make alterations, etc. The shop owner saw me and directed me to this dress (I did try on several others, but it really was the perfect one), but I obviously had no idea how much dresses in a shop like that could cost... much less what others would pay elsewhere! But the dress felt so good, a super soft, flexible fabric, that felt amazing on my skin. That Kelly Green was my favorite color at the time, complimenting my red Irish hair. Notice the small braiding along the top of the dress and as the straps? You can’t see it, but the bottom gently sat on my feet, all long and graceful, beautifully draping down my body, the perfect size, fit, and length - it was made for me! But I lost it.
. . I saw this same design/fabric in solid black at Harrods in London that Oct, but the price was over double the previous and my parents were with me *sigh* Guess whenever I find such fabulous fabric I’ll have to make it myself!
