Never Is the Next New Thing

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

Jean from Ghost Tailor ch-ch-ch-changed the neckline of my favorite Francis graffiti dress. (Don’t worry! Christian approves.) Here’s the new look, paired with my Nuit ring in the ugly hallway.

Here’s David Bowie.

Speaking of rock stars, I wore the updated dress (get yours at Bloomie’s!) to dinner at Minetta Tavern tonight and saw Keith Richards and Patti Hansen … as well as my gorgeous friends Phil, Angeline, Norm and Jane. I was glad that I got all dolled up for the occasion.

  10. Fabulous rework of the dress!

    Oh and I did have a WendyB disclaimer on my post yesterday which I forgot to include i.e. don’t read this post Wendy it doesn’t include you!
    Keep the fabulousness coming!

    PS the parcel hasn’t arrived yet.

  14. If you’re going to change the neckline you should at least be showing off a new necklace in stead of a ring! ; )

  19. i love the new neckline! i love how she didn’t cut off any of the graffiti print but ingeniously moved it down in line with the rest of the dress 🙂

  26. Eli, it didn’t bug me but I thought it might be better lower and I was right!

    Skye, thanks for the link — fabulous.

    Sister Wolf, Patti looked great. I saw her first and was wondering, “Is that Patti Hansen?” At which point, I saw Keef behind her and decided the answer was, “Yes.”

    Make Do, invisible disclaimers! What will they think of next?

    CFR, there’s an invisible teenie genie necklace there, just for you.

    Sal, if he had tried to withhold the blessing, you know I would have beat one out of him anyway. Ha! But, really, he’s very enthused for a customer to make adjustments. He often says to me, “You’ll want the neckline lower on this, of course.”

    All other peeps, thanks for the comments! Glad you like it. Jean is an artist.

  30. I love love love the dress. It reminds me of the kind of things SJP was styled in for SATC season 3 – which I think was by far the best season for clothes.

  37. Ok so you’ve got to be loving the anti-spam words you’ve put in here… otherwise your website is making a commentary on my personality (and it may be right) (the word is ‘beyotch’).

    Anyway, I really like the new neckline, I think it looks much better (sorry Francis). And as always, you are just lovely!

  41. OMG the new neckline improves the look by a factor of about a million, and since I already loved the look with the fire of a million suns, let’s just say you look fantastic.

  42. Holy cow, what sightings!

    I like the new neckline on the dress. It’s very flattering for you.

  43. OMG! I luv the new neckline and your ring is solely gorgeous! Don’t think I’m weird but I wonder if Keith Richards still has that sexy Rock thingy going on!
