  • Bracelet-length kimono-cut sleeves.
  • Smooth, seamed bodice.
  • Shaped, nipped waist has interior grosgrain band with hook&eye.

This dress is a real vintage gem, with finishing and details you won't find today, at any price. How often do you see a 4" hem on a modern dress? From the estate of Dorothy E., a woman with some truly fabulous clothes.

Note that this dress coordinates perfectly with Dorothy's mocha crinoline, which was likely made to go with it. Contact us if you'd like both items. We're happy to offer the set at a discount.

Star Wars embraces fantasy
Format: Paperback
This is Star Wars at its' strangest, and that's a very good thing. Luke and co. fighting through what could easily be Dracula's castle is a truly unique experience. I don't wish to say more for fear of spoilers. As a note though you will get more out of this if you've been following the Star Wars and Dr. Aphra comics. However you can get by without that knowledge as well.

Gothic Star Wars
Format: Paperback
This trade paperback collects all the issues for the Screaming Citadel story spread over several titles, including the main stay Star Wars series and the Dr Aphra book. As one might expect from a story spread over different titles with different artists and writers, the presentation varies. The art is all over the place. In the Marco Checchetto-drawn initial issue, everyone’s favorite amoral artifact hunter, Dr Aphra, is a striking space vixen. But in the following issues she’s hardly recognizable as the same character--mousier, if still menacing, in her trademark Russian tanker’s hat. To a lesser degree, the same is true for the other characters, including the main SW group. It’s understandable, but a bit disconcerting. The story centers on Dr Aphra, who, in need of a Jedi for one of her typically nefarious purposes, recruits Luke into her scheme. Unfortunately for Aphra, she’s up against a more ruthless foe in the harlequin-looking vampire-like Queen of the Screaming Citadel. Before long, the rest of the group has to show up to rescue them. It’s a gothic story, set in scary castle—not the usual Star Wars fare. There are some good points. Dr Aphra’s almost sociopathic outlook is always good for a few choice lines, the “murderous machines” Bee Tee and Triple Zero are on hand for their own gruesome commentary and some of the Queens hench-people, while not given much to do, are interestingly designed. But overall, the horror movies plotline didn’t seem much like Star Wars to me. Recommended for those who enjoy that type of story, or completists.

Luke and Doctor Aphra team up!
Format: Paperback
This is the second crossover event in the Marvel Star Wars comics. It brings the ongoing Doctor Aphra and Star Wars series together. I liked the pairing of Luke with Aphra. They play well off of each other with Luke's naive goodness and Aphra's experienced gray morality. I liked when she called him a wannabe padawan. There are some well designed characters in this comic. The residents of the Screaming Citadel have a goth bdsm vibe. Luke even gets to dress up. I liked seeing him in something different. I want to know more about Sana and Aphra's past!!! Please, Marvel, make a queer love story prequel!!! The murder droids are wonderful. Having them on the same side as the "good guys" for at least the time being led to some funny situations. The last panel intrigued me. I give this graphic novel a 4/5. I am always here for more Doctor Aphra!

Colossal Compendium Volume Six is Cool
Format: Paperback
Written by a 16 year old My mom pre-ordered this for me on June 26th, because I was trying to get all of the colossal compendiums that are out so far. Eventually, it was delivered to me seven days later on the day it came out (July 3rd), and I was hyped. Now I have all of the first six colossal compendiums. Overall, this is a really nice compilation comic book, like the first five colossal compendiums. I enjoy all the stories in this volume, along with the paper craft King Toot's Music Store. I also love how this volume's cover continues the journey of Homer trying to get his donut from Santa's Little Helper as more characters show up. I can't wait for Colossal Compendium Volume Seven next year if it is announced. Before you buy, here is the list of stories that are featured in this volume: The Book of Jobs (from Simpsons Comics 223) If You Could See What I Smell (from Simpsons Comics 231) Game On! (from Simpsons Comics 230) The Left Behinders! (from The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror 21) The Radioactive Man Christmas Special! (from Simpsons Winter Wingding 9) Splotchmen (from Simpsons Super Spectacular 13) Debt Be Not Proud (from Simpsons Comics 213) Scent of a Baby (from Maggie 1) Have Bodybag, Will Travel (McBain 1) Donut Detectives (from Simpsons Comics 230) Monty's Morphin' Power Wranglers (from Simpsons Comics 212) Li'l Homer in Fish Story (from Li'l Homer 1)
