Remember when we all used to gather, like this, for tea? I have no doubt those days will someday return, and we all want to look our best when they do.
But there are still some alternatives to be considered, now.
Cecil Beaton was one of the great stage and screen costume designers; my personal favorite, by the way. But he was also a fabulous fashion designer.
Granted, you have to be stick figured and to wear some of his creations. Which is why, pan sexuality aside, I sometimes gaze at my wardrobe, wishing I looked like Audrey Hepburn. Who among us does, these days? But why should we let that stop us?
There are no Cecil Beaton fashion shops; either on Manhattan's Upper East Side, or even in London. Are there even fabric shops left in Manhattan, or even the outer boroughs? Because, if there are, then one can pick out some fabrics, and, with the aid of dress patterns, or, better yet, a good dressmaker, then Beaton's styles can be replicated.
This one is my favorite ,girls!!!!!!!!!!!!! Imagine me making my triumphant return to the St. Regis for tea--not unlike Dolly Levi returning to the Harmonia Gardens. And to look like Lee Radziwill, besides!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Or, how about this, to the next social gathering? Hey, Passover is coming up. Why not wear this to your next ZOOM gathering?
