If there are two things I love they are 1950's clothing and Shakespeare. The great thing is, as a costume designer, sometimes I can make these things I love merge! One of my favorite of Shakespeare's plays is The Merry Wives of Windsor and I have always felt that it could be set in the 1950s. Mistress Page and Mistress Ford, after all, are Lucy and Ethel and sometimes they got to wear pretty dresses! This may turn into a full paper project...who knows.
I have it labeled "Mistress Page" but I think that this is more her daughter, Anne...with different hair and a different shoe...and a different collar.
How adorable! That dress is just too sassy.
