Butt Bow Alert!

January 8, 2008 by WendyB

I loved this vintage dress when I saw it from the front …


…. but I ADORED it when I saw it from the back!


UPDATED TO ADD: This under-the-boobs, red-white-and-blue bow made my heart skip a beat! It’s very French Revolution, non?

Alas! It is too small for me. Look at the back!

Wild!

    oh wow, I honestly LOVE it…

    I saved the pictures in hopes of getting something custom made like that when I got to China this summer!

    and I am VERY interested, please photograph the fringed puffer jacket, pronto!

    That dress is YOU, WB. I think you should only dress in gold and bows. But the problem of the diadem….how large should it be?

    Well, that is the eternal question, Suzanna Mars.

    ^^LA. The downstairs part, with the windows, is recent resale/consignment, and the big vintage gowns are upstairs. My original butt bow dress is from there.
