Ooh la la!
If you wear about a size 8 and have a sincere desire to sweep some palooka off his feet, you must have this dress. Bid quickly: the auction ends on the 24th.
You'll also want a good tailor, if you're planning on actually wearing it. All those side seams and 50-year-old silk or rayon? Wow. It might be easier just to put it on a rolling mannequin and walk down the street with it. Be sure to take some kind of flat-bed wagon to collect all the poor saps who knock themselves silly walking into utility poles as you pass by. (I'm picturing that scene from Major Dad when Gunny gets a red dress and a matching balloon and skips down the sidewalk in high heels, stunning several hunky young military types into abject slavering adoration. Please tell me I'm not the only one who remembers that.
And also, thinking of Gerald McRaney, how much does it SUCK that a) they killed him off in Jericho; and b) then they killed off Jericho! TV sucks rocks!!!!! At least How I Met Your Mother has been renewed.)
