I’m working on this dress now and it will be ready for lucitebox.com tomorrow.  I just had to tell you that the sight of it gives me deep and painful cravings for black cherry ice cream.

The dress is made of that changeable taffeta fabric that looks a little like shark skin. It’s iridescent and rich in color as it moves from black to deep burgundy in the light.

The jeweled neckline is superb. There are little tear drop shaped pearls that dangle. I think it would be smashing with a pair of earrings that echoed that shape. And, a chignon.

As a general rule, I don’t wear things that make noise so tafetta is out most of the time.  I’d make an exception if this fit me.

Do you ever have food cravings related to clothing? I tend to also find that when people describe, say, their boots, corduroys or cashmere sweater as being “chocolate brown” I wish that the objects themselves were actually made from chocolate. I sometimes feel that way about chocolate labs and other dogs that people describe as chocolate brown. Usually not poodles, though. It’s the smooth and shiny coat that makes them seemingly more edible.

How about this one? A chocolate brown Pit Bull. Nom, nom, nom, nom.
