I can’t tell you how many times, while getting ready for a special night out, I have looked in the mirror and thought "Wow. My neck is far too slender. That whole graceful Nicole Kidman swan neck thing is so early zero’s. The thick, no neck look is all the rage. Why can’t I look more like NFL hero Derrick Brooks ? Why, oh, why am I cursed with this threadlike throat?"
Well, search no more swan necked sufferers…your dress is here.
P.S. I totally don’t know the names of any professional football players. I had to look one up at NFL.com.
I have this mental image of her head going in and out of that collar like a turtle…. What were they thinking?!?
Great website, btw. Have you seen http://www.lileks.com or http://www.thatperfectlittleblackdress.com? James Lileks has some great commentary on images from the past and TPLBD has a rather large and brilliant collection of patterns.
I’m so happy to find this site, another distraction at work!! I found you on the drawn website: http://www.drawn.ca/
I want that decoder ring she is wearing.
hee hee!
It covers up cold sores too.
Can I buy that pattern – I LOVE THAT COLLAR – I would make that and wear it – If you sell it i’ll send you a photo of me in it!
Bless your heart, I made that dress in citrus green. Thought I looked tres chic, too. And here I always thought my black long sleeve mock turtle neck velour body suit with plastic snakeskin mini skirt and short bolero type vest was the worst 60s outfit I made.
Whack-a-mole anyone?

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
If only it was made of kevlar. That design would stop a few bullets!
Or maybe she was once a turtle, but a scientist fell in love with her and put her brain in a woman’s body.
And it’s not a decoder ring- it’s a ring-pop.
