I scored these within the last two weeks. This much awesome in such a short time frame needs to be shared.
First, a brand new with the tags fancy shmancy dress.

| I love the faux diamond and silver shoulder clasps. In person it's a deep plum. |
It's some sort of stretchy knit with a gauzy over layer. It is a tiny bit loose (I've put it on twice now and only noted the zipper in the back after the last time I took it off.) but not loose enough to fiddle with. Fun story with this one? It was a bit pricey for a thrift store find.. even as a new dress. I hid it for two weeks and came back on a half off day. I look damned sexy in it too. (Modesty, I have it.)
Next, found the same day as the slinky purple dress.. Gothy lace over dress!

| So goffy. It looks like something the lead singer of the Smashing Pumpkins once wore. The color is a dusty grape-purple. |
This laces up the back, corset style and is gored to give an almost circular effect. It's also see through. The cashier said that she had one very similar as a wedding dress (only difference was hers was white) and hers was $250 to my $3. I will need some sort of liner unless I intend on showing off my bra set. I intend to cut off the sleeves and either make straps or more Victorian period-ish sleeves.
