Second chances!
So a few years back, I fell in love with a dress by Comrags of Toronto. They had a jumper and a dress in a beautifully dark and intense yellow and green shadow plaid. I balked at the price, and wasn't able to try one on, so I let it go. I've regretted it ever since- always searching to buy similar fabric for myself, and hunting for shadow plaids on ebay. (God, looking at it now- why did I pass this up! I love it even more...)
A sneak peak of the fall 2010 season was posted on the Comrags website this week, and what did I see but some green and yellow shadow plaid! The colour is a bit less intense, but the dress is a bit more shapely this time. It reminds of the current Prada fifties vibe too. Mine!

You can bet I won't let this one go again...I just have to save my pennies for the next month or so! (Prada = too many pennies, though I do have some Miu Miu loafers I bought for $2.50 at a thrift store!)

1. i love comrags (hate the name, but love the clothing)
ReplyDelete2. it's so nice to finally have a *face* to your *name*.
3. was it you who loves that green 1950s dress with the architectural print? i wore that dress today!
4. hi!
Hey dear golden!
ReplyDeleteYep, that's me... That's so funny about the architecture dress! I was just going to say you should post it (fabulous patterns?) but perhaps I shouldn't see any more of it...
Ah, so many lovely dresses, not enough days in the year...
I tried on that Comrags dress (in navy because I cannot do green) and it is a lovely fit. The skirt dips down in the front and the top is fitted quite perfectly. It is A LOT of pennies, but silk I think, and well-tailored, and less than Prada and probably better made. Get it! Then post about it!
ReplyDeleteD'oh! So I wrote to Comrags basically right after this posting and they said that they were having a members night on September 1st, but would let me know after that if they had my size left.
ReplyDeleteAnd...no... Dangit! It's true that I loved the original more- it kills me that it's probably hanging unworn in SOMEONE's closet! Or maybe some other plaid-happy soul found it second hand and is happily trotting around in their autumn finery!
Sigh.
