I kid, I kid. At some point I will look at the pictures and opine, but really, in the Universe According to Erin, Christina Hendricks shows up in this Suzy Perette number, and everyone else goes home.
Herve Leger Sales

Christina, if you need this, check out the eBay auction. There's still time to bid! Robin sent a link to these Bonnie Cashin dresses, up for auction at Augusta Auction. The dark one on the right is actually two pieces: a bodice and skirt.

Neither dress is my size, but lordy, would I like a few (dozen) yards of that dark fruit fabric. (The bright dress has a similar palette to one of my favorite Liberty patterns, Enchanted Garden.)

(There are other pictures at the Augusta link, but for some reason having both the dresses facing left seemed humorous to me. They look like they're lining up to be bought!)If I were recruiting for a new elite corps of airline hostesses (and who's to say I'm not?) I would definitely make this the uniform. See how cleverly the sergeant's stripes are incorporated into the bodice?

Thanks to Tammy O. for sending the link -- the eBay auction ends, like, nowish, so jump if you want it.
Herve Leger Bandage Dress

Oh, and I think the model in gray is holding a swagger stick, yes?So I kind of forgot to mention that I'm signing books tonight in Burlingame. It's a lovely bookstore! They are super-nice! And if you show up in a dress I will give you a Dress a Day tape measure, while supplies last!

(The one night only part is kind of a lie, though, because I live in Burlingame, so technically I'm there pretty much every night.)

Hope to see you there!

[There *will* be an East Bay event, but I don't have my travel dates pinned down enough to schedule it yet. I hope to know this week ...]
Check out what a nice big size it is, and the lovely center pleat on the skirt ... and the collar!

And don't forget -- the first Secret Lives signing is tomorrow! I might be wearing a shirtdress. You'll have to show up to find out!
