I love too-Mrs Delany, and her circle- but I did not like these things-I have tried because I admire the designer, these just seem over reaching. the longer gown works best. She must have morphed the designs with different labels to avoid some copyright issues-things are different enough. Perhaps a less literal take would have worked better in this case. pgtP.Gaye Tapp at Little Auguryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15115534755711063462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-73779563592553188452011-01-12T17:27:25.273-05:002011-01-12T17:27:25.273-05:00Thanks for this post.
