THAT (Green) Dress!!!!


We interrupt our regularly scheduled program to bring you this special message.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day to all of my Irish friends (including those of you with Irish roots). In keeping with my annual efforts to post something "green," I offer you that dress exceptional dress spotted on last month's Academy Awards' red carpet. Worn by Scarlett Johansson, the Atelier Versace gown wasn't so much a standout by it's rather simple design as it was for its color.....EMERALD green!

In the United States, one rarely sees green dresses in the stores because, according to many buyers, the American market doesn't find it to be a flattering tone. You'll find this same phenomena elsewhere in the world like.....Asia. What you, the consumer don't see is that, after the catwalk shows, there are meetings amongst the design houses, magazine editors and the retail buyers to determine what will actually be ordered. In many cases, this means the clothing we see online or in some newspapers will be changed to suit the tastes of the various markets around the world. But this sublime, jewel of a dress and its statement necklace was part of Versace's Haute Couture line and as such, there are no market constraints to consider. Like that, we were able to see such a beautiful color grace a most prestigious red carpet which inspired the Dolly version worn by Muriel.

And now we return you to your regular scheduled program.........  We'll be right back with Paris Fall trends part II!

    1. Thank you Sarah. I was sure you would notice her necklace. I really wanted to make it with crystals but couldn't get to my crafts store in time.

    2. I could absolutely see that necklace with crystals. They would really sparkle!

      If it wasn't almost 4:00 am where I am, I would get my stash of 2 mm Chinese Crystal beads and start playing right this very minute. Getting a lot of inspiration from you! <3

    1. Thank you, Billa. I had wanted to do this dress at the same time as the other Oscar dresses, but didn't have the right color of fabric. As you see....in this case color is everything!!!! I also love how this dress flatters this doll's curvy figure!
