Francophile Friday : Taffeta Tango in Paris

A gorgeous taffeta confection might impede our steps but would hide a multitude of footwork sins all the while.
This vintage gown might possibly be Dior. There was no credit on the photo from which I drew inspiration, so if you know, I'm all ears. Well, actually, my ears are rather petite. In proportion, I would say. Anyhoo, what I do know for sure is this gown is a beauty. I hear several arrondissements are vying to become its postcode of residence. They might have to take a number. And on that note ...
Happy Francophile Friday to you !
I like your taffeta tango gown. I hope that on the side we cannot see, or in the front of the dress, there is a slit so the legs can be seen. For the tango, legs are important. My mother loved the tango and taught me to dance with her when I was a child (because my father was injured in WWII and could not dance.) I wrote a post on her and the tango back in 2010 – you might like it. If you read it, read the comments too: http://avagabonde.blogspot.com/2010/06/recollection-mothers-youth-and-carlos.html
ReplyDeleteI love that you danced the tango with your mother, Vagabonde ~ what a beautiful memory to have ! I'll look forward to making a nice cup of tea and settling in to read your tango post shortly. x0
DeleteI love the subtle vari-colors. And the Paris view, of course.
ReplyDeleteAnd the grey, Petrea ... and the grey. ;) x0
