French Liberation Dress.

F Scott Fitzgerald was at Les Deux Magots drinking more than he should.

Hemingway was reminding him of that constantly.

Gertrude Stein was being redundant as usual.

Chevalier's Paris.

The most romantic city on earth where couples neck in the metro and hold hands along the Seine.

Not even the existentialists or surrealists could put a damper on it.

(Although they tried.)

You wore a little flowered dress everywhere in those days.

Because you were happy practically everywhere.

You stopped wearing it when your city of love turned into a city of despair.

But you never lost hope.

You knew there would come another day.

When the long lines in the queues would turn to dancing in the street.

When tears would flow as freely as champagne.

Flowers would be thrown at the liberators.

And you would wear your little flowered dress.

Once again.

Vintage French Liberation Dress (No. 2495). Faithful recreation of a 30's lower calf length cut for special occasions. Wispy georgette picot floats over a satin lining that knows enough to stop 2" shorter then hem to give it an airy point of interest.

Wrap style creates deep V. Easy pullover with no zippers, no buttons to slow you down either way. Bias cut, reserved only for the finest dresses, does more remarkable things for you.

Could be liberating even today.

Women's sizes: 2 through 18. Imported.

Color: Black with Rose Print.
