I'm certainly not going to get run around any more by an email list about anyone else's creations. If you think they're indecent instead of figuring out how to coordinate them with other garments, it's not my failure of imagination. My take is the pictures are like most catwalk fashion: Not intended to be worn exactly as modeled. The 1980s "Out of Africa" look included drawers partly exposed under and/or beneath a skirt with opening front buttons. I frequently did that.

My first prom dress was a Gunne Sax knock off with all bits of ribbons, lace, and ruffles, sigh. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
