Glamour

Nicole Lindner, a clothier hailing from Chesterfield, UK , made this whimsical dress patterned after 3-D glasses (the British kind, with the green lens). It’s a fun outfit for a costume ball or a romantic night on the town. The dress is not mass-produced, she makes limited batches and sells them on Etsy.com. She’s sold out now, but maybe she’ll make more. Because I have some suggestions for the next round.

The glasses seem backwards to me. If the notch in the side is supposed to represent the nose of the glasses, then shouldn’t the red lens be on top? Because if you rotate a pair of 3D glasses 90 degrees counter-clockwise, the red lens is on top. Unless I’m wrong.

Also, I think I would like it even better if the lenses were transparent. But maybe that’s just me.

Time again for a gander at bygone glamour...
