   Sometimes I run into vintage gowns that makes me scratch my head... this is one of them.

     Vintage - Mid 1980's

   My mom some years ago back saw this dress at a yard sale and brought me back to see it. I ended up buying two gowns there. This one and the other, one which I wore in a production based on the writings of Edgar Allan Poe.
   Being a performer some of these odd designs can come in handy. While a formal gown in teal blue lame and sequined in shapes of snow flakes on the bodice makes a lot of since in a Christmas Parade, partially after the Disney hit Frozen came out! ... but in the mid 1980's.... Why?!?!
   You have to wonder what these dresses where worn to when they were new... did some poor girl actually wear this to a prom? I have to wonder about the histories of these gowns that leave me scratching my head in wonderment and then end up my collection of costumes.
   I totally enjoy them though! They are beautiful dresses! I just would love to know who wore them and why.
   My teal blue Alyce appeared in a parade this year and was worn for an event last year as well. I even used it in a music video.

Another dress I'm letting go....
Charlotte Russe
 A Little about the Brand:
"Named after the French dessert, Charlotte Russe began its sweet journey in 1975 with the first store opening in Carlsbad, California. Putting a spotlight on women in their teens and early twenties."

This dress is a unique coloring of gray and purple in a pinstripe heavy satin. The draping is lovely with rushed and pleated detail.
