I Feel Pretty!

This late 1970's haute couture gown by Nina Ricci will make you want to run barefoot in a field of wildflowers singing,

I feel pretty
Oh so pretty
I feel charming
Oh so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel!

But don't be alarmed, it is just the intoxicating side effect of a gown so soft and romantic it will have you singing like Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson in Anger Management.

The Meissen blue bias cut gown clings provoctively to the body while the ice colored lace over the bust is embroidered with tiny beads. Another layer of lace covers the lingerie inspired top. Pearl buttons line the back of the dress. A perfect dress for a summer evening or even a slightly unconventional wedding gown.

A Nina Ricci Ballgown

Romance, splendor and exuberance all find expression in this late 1980s Gérard Pipart for Nina Ricci haute couture ballgown. Ribbons, delightful bits of sparkle and a grand silhouette recall the eighteenth century but the vibrant red, green, purple and yellow floral print is for a modern girl. The laced corset is body conscious with all of the volume billowing out in the skirt and train. There are even horsehair panniers (now, how many gowns in your closet have panniers?). A dress for a grand evening statement. Size 4.
