Seeing Double

Just a quick little post. I haven't done one of these in a long while! This sparkly silver and dark purple little lurex number by Pierre Cardin was seen worn by two lovely ladies in the 1960's.

Here we have the wife of Tara Browne, the late heir to the Guinness fortune, Nicky, pictured with her husband in a spread for Men In Vogue in November, 1966. She's paired the mini dress with a cute chain belt. 

And below we have song bird Marianne in the same dress for a recorded television performance. She has paired it with silver shoes by Bally. 








































Who do you think wore the dress better?
Personally I prefer the way that Nicky wore it. 
To me she looks just like she's ready to go out dancing.

  7. I love them both. Can't decide! I'm not a big fan of sparkly dresses, but this might change my mind!
