Inspirational Images: Year of the slippery little dress

Seen at Jean-Yves Elrhodes’ hair salon in Paris. Tricel jersey dress; Janice Wainwright at Simon Massey, 7 gns at Just Looking.

We can but hope that this salon is pickled in vinegar exactly as shown in this incredible image.

It was indeed a year of ‘slippery’ dresses… My sis & I took our mum to the fabric store & we each picked out our shiny stretchy fabrics. Mum, who is a wonderful sewer, made me a jumpsuit out of shiny stretchy royal blue with a pale blue middle, & a gorgeous drapey mini cranberry dress for my sis..
