Shopping Result

I was invited to yet another maroccan wedding party. As the bride helpfully remarked, I was not expected to wear „anything involving a Ramones t-shirt and boots“ (thank you, Siham!).

Some shopping I did in February came in handy. The fabulous Muslim-Shop provided me with this fine dress:

Made of shiny, heavy fabric that flows quite fabulously, and it includes some strings inside to tighten it around your bust. It is quite long, however and even wearing high heels you have to move very ‚graciously‘ – but, as my partner said, „it’s not made for walking, it is made for standing still and being looked at.“

What’s not to be looked at (especially not at a wedding party) were these beautiful finds:

I recently found a shop that had these fascinating examples from the Rago collection: an old-style girdle with six suspenders (never wore one of those; you move differently, believe me…), and an equally old-style bra that somehow gives you those ‚pointy‘ curves that we all know from forties movies. So this was my look for the party – forties oriental decency (and a big thank-you to the bridesmaid’s mother who provided me with a simple, but stunning headdress to go with the butterfly dress).

It was a lot of fun in the end of course; although, unfortunately, no „Bobby Brown“ routine this time.
