Wish List: Versace Couture Dress From 1991

December 7, 2013 by WendyB

If I had $7,500 to spend on a dress, I would get this Gianni Versace Couture design from 1991.

The colors! The print! It’s so Gianni. I love the belled shape of the skirt and the sex-ay back.

I’m sure that it’s magic and that if I wore it, I’d look exactly like a 20-something Christy Turlington.

The dress for sale is a tiny bit too big, but Jean from Ghost Tailor could take care of the alterations, so if you’re looking to splurge on me, don’t hesitate. Go right ahead and whip out that credit card. My birthday is coming up!  If you’re on a tighter budget, don’t be sad. I will gladly settle for this $1,800 bustier-shaped Jean Paul Gaultier backpack from 1998.

Nope, I’m still not into that super-practical, minimalist wardrobe thing! That much is clear.
