We’ve gotten in some incredible black tie appropriate gowns as of late. These frocks really come alive as soon as they are put on. We love how dark and vampy they are! The left is none other than Dior and is a bias cut silk chiffon so it’s a general size small. The centre trained silk satin gown is a size 4 and is attributed to Vera Wang sold. On the right is silk brocade Nina Ricci and is a size 2.

Out and About

We have recently received a follow up email from Lisa Eisen. You may remember when we first heard from Lisa in December of 2013, as posted here>. Now we have a great shot from her sister-in-laws big day. The bride wore a stunningly flawless 1960’s Christian Dior Couture dress. Lisa also writes;

Hey to all the staff at The Cat’s Meow,
Just wanted to send you an update, a year later, from my brother’s wedding.  Last January my sister-in-law and I went shopping in your store.  Literally a half hour later we walked out with her absolutely perfect wedding dress.  With minimal alterations, she and my brother finally tied the knot in a New Years Eve celebration.  Gorgeous wedding, gorgeous gown, gorgeous bride, wonderful sister-in-law…how did we all get so lucky?!
Thanks again for all of your help and for your fabulous stock of dresses.  I’m always recommending you guys for anyone looking for something specific for any sort of event.  Love your store!  I’ve attached a picture of the blushing bride.

♥We really have the best customers! ♥

Back to black and we are super excited about the dress (sold)on the right…. She hails from the early 1960’s and is one of the first creations from the house of MISSONI!!! And, and, and it’s brand new with it’s original tags! (Totally geeked out over this peice when it arrived.) We feel so blessed that the vintage gods have rewarded us with one of their holy angels. We should also note the 1970’s Dior couture velvet jacket  (sold) in the middle- lined in silk and serial numbered.

This is our anarchistic pattern mash-up of a window. Somehow we find fluidity to it- like mixing sweet with salty. Consider it the visual version of a sea salted caramel bon bon. Surprisingly delightful, isn’t it?
