The dress I never had

[louiselux]

The dress I most regret never buying.



I know I'm not shaped like Lily Allen. Cole. Whatever! But it looked so sweet on me and the fabric was gorgeous and stiff, so one felt completely armoured. It gave me that exact feeling of pleasure I got when I was a little girl and wearing my favourite clothes. Blue dungarees and red sweater, blue corduroy pinafore with green and blue ribbons, how I miss thee.

The only size was 14, which was too tight then, but wouldn't be too tight now. It was in the sale too. Sometimes I still trawl eBay for this garment...

I most regret never buying one of those gorgeous Napoleonic-war style jackets when they were in fashion. You know, the ones in velvet, with all the piping across the front and the buttons, like what Sharpe wears. *longing*

Oooh, I do remember. What a shame, I feel your pain, truly.

Oh that is so cute. I love it. *__* I really hope some day you find it online to buy!

Thanks! I pine for this dress whenever I remember it.

I hope you find it someday too! ^__^

It is very pretty. Red MJ's too! I love those shoes.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

I think red MJ's must be the best shoe ever. Why haven't I got any? Have you got some?

ohhh, pretty! ;0 i hope you find it someday!

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm keepin' on looking.

It is very cute. And would look even cuter on you.
But one can always, always buy Red Shoes. And that in a large part always makes up for it for me. :-)

Oh, red shoes! You are so right, I need some.

i had a pretty serious conversation the other day with a friend of mine who has an 8 month old baby girl about why it is you can buy dresses with matching knickers for infants but not for fully-grown adult women. i'd love a frock with matching knickers.

(this only tangentially related to your post. also why are you googling footballers? is one sport fandom not stressful enough for you?)

Matching knickers would be so great! You'd have that feeling I associate with having matching underwear and also clean clothes - a sense of being at peace with the world.

pretty dress. hmmm.
the material looks like it is a shimmery blue.

cant you have it made?
over here. it's easy to have a dress made...
it (just the sewing) will cost approx $13
(that kind of dress).

the material has to be bought separately though.
but you can pick whatever color you want.
