While I don't like rick rack, especially raked across a bodice, I could not resist this print. It was an Yves Saint Laurent suit in black printed with large white musical notes (and bass and treble clefs) that began my novelty print Odyssey years ago, so I’ve got a soft spot for melodic prints. The candelabras on the pianos really make this print sing.

But I do not like western-styled dresses of this sort. If I could I would rescue this dress from itself and reform it into a sleeveless shift dress. Or perhaps just replace the rick rack with something else.

B 38, W 30 and with a current bid of $19.99.
