For<br />folks who have access to any of the<br />major designers, I wonder who makes<br />the decisions for what they wear.<br />Some of the gowns I've seen this<br />year: atrocious! And what designer would actually put his/her name on<br />those designs?

And for confirming which GWTW dress we're talking about.<br /><br />I remember a few years ago, Cate Blanchett wore the most gorgeous gown to the Oscars. I tried to find a picture but couldn't. It was white or cream and embroidered with trailing roses, high-necked at the front with a really plunging back. Loved that dress! She wears wonderful clothes! <br /><Anna Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695579361323275316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-61888870787541341142010-09-12T08:10:03.678-07:002010-09-12T08:10:03.678-07:00Lets try this again blogger isn't liking me.

Can't sew on a button and can't even cut a straight line. But I've always loved beautiful gowns - right from when I was a kid and I first saw pictures of women in medieval and Tudor costumes. And of course, those dresses have more in common with Valentino than the Tshirts and shorts with elastic waists we pull on Anna Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695579361323275316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-54556501748739971412010-09-11T12:26:57.508-07:002010-09-11T12:26:57.508-07:00Daz, what a fascinating site!
