... Long Black Dress!
Indulge me in a fantasy post (I know, they're basically all fantasy by this point -- but isn't that half the fun?)

I openly declare my love of the allure of being utterly and completely (or very nearly) covered up. And while we're at it, covered up in layers of rustling silk, chiffon, crinoline ...
... bold lace and a bit of crinoline ...
... gloriously composed in diaphanous swathes ...
... looking every bit the part of the woman standing at the edge of the sea at dusk, dark skirt billowing in the mist ...
... battling urban ennui in a declarative statement of a coat (here I AM!) ...
... or playing dress-up as a modern day slightly dark-sided Alice (drink this!), or a Little Woman Jo?
This is some kind of greatness. Not quite costume, far more than merely clothing. It exists somewhere in between. Only on the runway, perhaps, or in the magazines.
But also very much in my imagination. That may be the best place of all!

Oooh, so moody and romantic! I agree, there is an allure to the vision of a woman who is covered, especially with gorgeous black fabrics, leaving much to the imagination.
