evening dress callot souers 1908

Ok, strictly speaking this is an evening dress and not really for Halloween but hey, it's black and very very elegant. (My notes say it's by Callot Soeurs from 1908. I admit it; I'm an absolute sucker for haute couture. :)

It probably was made for someone about 4' 10" and maybe cracking the scale at 110 pounds. It's beautiful, though. I want! - LOL.

If they were 4'10, I'd be more likely to think they were in the 85-90 lb. range because that was my grandma's size. (She was so happy when she got "old and fat" because then she weighed a whopping 101 lbs., lol!)

Oh my, she was tiny. My mom was 5' 2", and my aunt shrank down to 4' 10" from 5' 0" as she got older. I don't think she was any 101 pounds, though - LOL.
