OMG-Worthy: Vintage Trompe L’oeil Gown

December 8, 2012 by WendyB

I’ve previously documented my passion for trompe l’oeil clothing, so it should be no surprise that this vintage Roberta Di Camerino gown blew my mind when I saw it on 1stdibs.com.

Click for more information.

I’m amazed that it’s a wool jersey. I figured it would be some kind of slippery nylon. SO! MUCH! FUN!

    It even has space for cuff lings. You must have it! You already have the cuff lings for which to die.

    That is incredible, not only for the trompe l’oeil of it all, but for the color scheme. It is very zippy. And very you!
