I saw this black cocktail dress.....
So I'm in this play, right? The whole facial hair thing? Well, up until last night, the rehearsals were in a warehouse where a local theater company that does broadway musicals houses all their stuff, including a wardrobe spanning 40 years of shows. I'm not in many of the scenes in the middle of the show, so I took the opportunity to wander and explore a bit. What a treasure trove! Kid in a candy store! There are so many lovely dresses and things! While perusing the collection, I saw this drop dead gorgeous black cocktail dress. It's hard to describe. It was long sleeve, with gathers and shirring at the wrists, made from a very touchable lycra. It had draping across the front, gathered at one shoulder with a sequined clasp. It also draped at the hips, allowing the hemline to fall straight from the hips with some lovely pleating in a full skirted bottom. It zipped up the back to a plunging neckline near the shoulder blades. It was one of those dresses that just took your breath. And it was my size! Oh! To try it on! To spend an hour or two in it! I wondered if....if....
Nope. It's not mine, and even "borrowing" it would be wrong. But a girl can dream! Rats! The rehearsals are moving over to the theater now, so I don't know if and when I'll see it again. But wow!
