Head-to-Toe Ossie

September 17, 2008 by WendyB

I posted a picture of this Ossie Clark dress before, but it didn’t show the whole dress. Thank you to ENC for lightening up the original pitch-black picture to make the dress visible.


I wore this to a Zang Toi event and the Reem Acra fashion show last week.

    Hi Wendy-this one is gorgeous, thanks for indulging me, I love to see you in your Ossies. I missed out on a buy it now on Ebay.co.uk for £165(!!!) yesterday-a patterned one as well, I don’t think it was on there for a whole afternoon :-(( I really want to sort out my black Ossie, I need to get it re-hemmed and see if I can get enough material for sashes around the bust. Seeing you in yours makes me want to get another one, haha!!

    I love that dress; you do vintage so well. Especially Ossie. You have a pretty sizeable collection of Ossie, don't you?

    Say, did you see the Ossie exhibit at the V&A a couple of years ago?

    This is stunning. I think Kate Moss would like to steal this from you. It’s the sort of thing she would wear.

    Hey Wendy! I was wondering why you looked familiar and now I remember why! I was reading a Marie Claire a few weeks ago at the salon and read your story about your friend.

    So now, I am so thrilled you actually found my blog! I know I sound soooo silly but I feel like a star found enough time in her busy sked making exquisite jewelry to read me! So so thrilled!

    You do vintage with such flair. The dress looks great on you.

    And I’m very amused by what Frances said because that’s the same way I feel whenever you visit my blog lol.

    this is so crazy, I was photoshopping Reem Acra pictures and realized you and your husband were sitting a few rows in front of me! Can’t believe I didn’t notice it at the time – I was taking pictures of Reem’s puppy man who was sitting next to you because I was curious about his ripped sleeves.

    Herald, that’s so funny — Paul wasn’t with me but I was sitting next to the guy who had the puppy for a bit.

    Sharon, what a shame you missed such a good deal! Definitely get yours fixed up ASAP.

    ENC, yep, I saw that!

    Kline, thank you.

    Coco, I'd hate to see how much better she looked in it, so let us be on guard against her taking it.

    Lenore, yes, Zang is Malaysian and he has a fantastic apartment. He had a charity auction recently and I bought a smaller version of his Marie Antoinette paintings.

    Emily, thanks!

    Frances, you're too cute!

    Make Do and Lady D, thanks!

    Lisa, well, I enjoy your blog immensely.

    Miss J and Nina, thanks!

    Diabolina, they are Dolce & Gabbana that I got on sale at Bergdorfs.

    Skye and Duchesse, thanks!

    Iheart, Miss Karen and KD, I just love the way Ossie cut his dresses. Very flattering.
