Aicha Hockx sent me these pictures ages as well as ages ago, of this amazingly gorgeous contemporary gown she made that features a Watteau pleat at the back.
You *must* go check out her blog to see the posts she wrote about this dress: this one with a lot more pictures (including the front, which has pockets!), this one with historical references, as well as this one where she explains it all very clearly!
This would rather potentially the world’s best cocktail gown if executed in gold brocade. Actually, if you showed me this in gold brocade I would not be shocked if you likewise said “Look, it’s Prada.”
I love this so much. This is the gown I will wear after the time maker is perfected as well as I visit 2039. (I don’t want to look like a hick.)
