Romantic
Gowns
Women
never look
more feminine, in my eyes, than when they are wearing skirts that
brush the ground. It's amusing to recall that in the sixties,
when miniskirts first appeared, it seemed impossible that long
dresses would ever come back into fashion. Yet ten years later,
they were to be seen everywhere!
I
delight in wearing
elegant and feminine full-length dresses, in which I feel totally
at ease when walking in the forest, or strolling around the garden.

These
I made purely
to please myself; long satin gowns, with heavy flounces at the
hem, worn over similarly flounced petticoats. Gowns that demand
constant handling, skirts swirling about the ankles that must
be lifted at every step, ensuring one is ever conscious of their
sensuous constraint.

A
gown I made
to my own design, from Indian silk, perfect for hot summer days.
The elbows are trimmed with wide lace flounces. A poke bonnet
and parasol complete the picture.
