I was moved to scan this partly because I have just listed a beautiful Janice Wainwright for Simon Massey halter neck dress in silver lurex (presumably from the same collection) over at Vintage-a-Peel. And partly because it’s just a beautiful pair of images – particularly the deliciously creepy mermaid doll. Brrrr.
