  All bride dresses have a magic charm but what make them wonderful is the people who wear them.

Un sabor, un olor, una mirada, un vestido, destellos evocadores de recuerdos, puertas al mundo interior del hombre.
Un saludo

  As with every wrinkle on our face is a testament to the life of the joys and hardships that we had lived.

You have photographed this dress, and it’s surroundings so beautifully … I would love to know the story behind it.

A beautiful shimmering dress, with a crumpled crushed skirt…..it has a tale to tell of elegance and neglect 🙂

  It might be a tale to tell of elegance and neglect, but I am afraid that not everyone is able to understand it or even to listen to it.

Nope it is not photography! It is art! The best kind of art. Conceptual and balanced and creative and simply beautiful. I really enjoyed all that you showed and thank you for the display, Thanks, claudy

This is a very wonderful image.
I find the expression of beautiful dresses on a Judy.. the headless, armless female torso, to be art. People wear clothes. A Judy is able to wear creation.
Wherever you found this, be it in an attic or backstage in a theatre’s wardrobe, you have surely captured the romance of dressing a Judy.
Thank you, Marcelo! _Resa xo

  Thank you, Resa.
  Nearly all women have experienced the unrivalled feeling of wearing a dress made from hope and illusion once in their life. That complex universe of sensations permeates the gown transforming it into an emotional reminder of that time. It doesn’t matter where it is stored, he always tells us its story. Sometimes it can ask us for a second chance to be happy.
  Be happy.

was forgotten
by the one who promised to come,
my only thought is wondering
whether it even exists. ~ Ono No Komachi

The way you have captured the essence of this dress makes me think that you found it in an attic of a very old house, rather than a shop. Love it!

  I found this glamorous dress in a second hand shop which decadent atmosphere comes together with the blend of nostalgia and desire of the objects stored there.

    You miss my poems? Aahh, thank you Marcelo! 🙂 I should be posting one by next week. It’s going to be a little unusual – with some visuals and sound effects. That will keep you guessing now! 😉
