Fashion Repeats Itself: Trompe L’oeil Zippers

February 22, 2016 by WendyB

I’ve always had a love for trompe l’oeil clothing. Fashion that makes me laugh! That’s what I’m all about.

Back in 2009, I had a dress with a big faux zipper down the back.

Why do I have a dowager’s hump in this photo? LOL.

I wore that to a fashion show that featured a vomiting front-row attendee and a fainting runway model.  In other words, it was an awesome night.

Anyway, I’m a little tempted to get this vintage dress with a big faux zipper down the front.

That way I could be zippy coming and going.

The seller dates this dress to the 1960s.  As I like to point out, fashion repeats itself!
