Violet - Heat Wave [more info]
Retail Price:
$119.00
Our Price: $119.00
Quantity in Basket:
none
It could be the hotter than usual weather that explains why Violet Waters is such a sensation in this gown. Or then again, it could be a combination of things.The short sleeved, bare midriff top is a logical starting point, jeweled and tasseled at the bust and bared to just above the navel. The sarong skirt in a saturated shade of vivid saffron and embroidered in silver and lavender with a pattern of falling blossoms may be another reason for the heat. Or maybe it is the silver ankle strap sandals and diamond bracelet that tip the thermometer towards torrid. Our guess: it is really Violet herself, with her luxurious hair piled into two large rolls at the crown and cascading down her back. With a spit curl on her forehead, tropical blossoms in her hair and dramatic, concentric silver hoop earrings on her ears, hurricane Violet is a force of nature in her own right. This Heat Wave is not one to endure, but one to love.

Madra - Careless Kisses [more info]
Retail Price:
$189.99
Our Price: $189.99
Quantity in Basket:
none
Madra Lord's performance in "Rich Girl" as Eden Vickers was one of the highlights of her late 1930's film career. Madra was given - and relished - the opportunity to play a character whose transformation propels the story from start to finish. This costume was entitled 'Careless Kisses' for obvious reasons within the plot. The pristine cream satin gown was the perfect counterpoint to Eden's reckless flirtations and desperate unhappiness within her sheltered life. Over the meticulously pleated satin pumps, an attached satin 'apron' covers the full underskirt of cream tulle and drapes surprisingly lower in the front than back. The halter neckline of tulle spangled with sequins over satin covers the bust and adds to the uncovered, virginal tones of the dress. A small sequined evening hat is worn off-center as both a fashion statement and character clue and lavish 'diamond' and 'gold jewelry' sparkles at the throat and earlobes. Long black gloves steal the show and offer a visual expression of the contrasts within the heroine's character as Madra emotes her way into film legend.
