.. I feel a red dress is just as important in a women's wardrobe as a little black one. Red makes us feel strong, powerful and sexy. A study at the University of Rochester New York concluded that men were more inclined to spend more money and be more attentive to women wearing red over women wearing blue.

.. This divine dress is a couture masterpiece, on par with any vintage Balenciaga I have ever owned. The fabric is gorgeous silk matelasse, very fine with a floral textured pattern. The dress has non working buttons up the front and a back metal zipper. It is slim fitting, with those fabulous pockets that stand out from the hips accentuation the waist. The jacket has the four pocket flaps, but no pockets, no closures. The jacket is lined in rose silk, the dress is lined in white organza.
