Hey, have you folks seen this frock at Burda Mode? Done right, this would look fabulous in a 50s fishtail wiggle dress sortofa way. Needs a few more darts for a better fit, methinks.
Of course, done the wrong way and it could be an 80s nightmare throwback. I’m thinking royal blue polyester satin and lots and lots of tulle.
A dangerous line to tread.
I cannot imagine any event at which I would wear the fishtail dress, but there is another dress on the Burda site that is divine.

How absolutely lovely!
My mother had a dress like that one custom made for her in 1987. It was black velvet and copper taffeta. I remember it vividly.
