The dark rusty brown color of this fabulous retro-inspired frock, by Bettie Page, reminds us of the quintessential autumn seasoning - pumpkin pie spice! Much like the delectable garnish, this gorgeous dress is replete with a little bit of everything.

I have to confess upfront that this dress, 50's-inspired design aside, has nothing to do with Tennessee Williams' famous play. I just like the way the name sounds. "A Dress Named Desire" - has a certain ring, doesn't it? And why not christen this dress in the name of yearning? After all, that is exactly the feeling which boiled through my veins the minute I espied this gorgeous Betty Page frock. It's glistening, checkered taffeta and classically beautiful silhouette stole my heart and wouldn't give it back no matter how much I begged. Admiring this dress, a million scenes sprang to mind - It's full skirt pooled out as I sat, lost in a novel, in front of a warm, radiating wood stove. It's patent belt, notched collar, and double breasted front making me the personification of elegance as I sipped a glass of Chianti at a fancy holiday party. My eyes downcast, my stomach butterflies, as a love interest gently ran his fingertips up and down the length of my arm left bare by the cuffed 3/4-length sleeves. Everything glamorous, everything glowing - that's what a girl's world would become when she was embraced and graced by this garment. Mmm. I wanted this dress - wanted to wear it out somewhere, anywhere, with velvet peep toes, back seamed stockings, and dainty black gloves. I'm not a girl to let good-looking things pass me by, and this dress? Well, it's no exception. By Bettie Page. -Hannah, Fashion Writer

Excellent condition with just a tiny bit of minor moth nipping at fabric. No holes... just the nap nipped down (see photo for one). Impossible to see unless inspecting. Heavy weight coat... the kind of wool coat they don't make anymore. Fully lined. Measures: 34-36" bust, up to 30" waist, 45" long from shoulder to hem, 17" long from shoulder to waist (fairly long-waisted). The buttons can be moved 1", as they were at one time. NEW LISTING!

[i think i have forgotten my chain of numbers, sorry.] i dunno, people dont seem to like this one. Maybe it's cos only the early ballots are in. Maybe it's the crinoline? The soda cans? The somewhat strange shaping of the leather? [i think it's leather.] i dunno, i really like it.

I cant remember which doyenne said "B for Bill Gibb" & thereby gave him his minor signature, but one can read it in his long overdue & not long enough fashion bio, available on Amazon or Alibris or ABEBooks, preferably from a used bookdealer. However, I do know that this is one of the nicest examples incorporating that trademark that I have yet seen [dig those sleeves, dig that cut, dig that gathering, that trim]--& oh, how I wish it were not eight hundred bucks. For one whose blood runs richer than does mine, sadly.

Not really, & usually I have a lot to say, often even effusively--for cause, too--but today has not been such a hot one. For anyone whose read any of my "about me" sorta pages, saying "the drummer compleatly lost it" should suffice. I was to start selling my vintage collection [no more space & it's about as good as this, as good as it gets, just so i can recycle & re-get, if that makes sense] but, apparently, I took too much attention away from him. Now I've taken it all away. Ah, well. Persons out there can relate thru the tears, methinks.

The International Herald Tribune here [hosting this slideshow] considers Mr Gibb [RIP, like @least half of half of anyone who was anyone interesting before anyone really knew about--] a Forgotten Hero. Not hardly. He's my favorite, anyway & has been for years. I only wish I were old enough to have at least seen, if not been able to afford, his stuff--when. Long time gone now. PS. These are good, there are better. I'll keep looking.
