That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for May 08, 2023

Jacqueline the seamstress found that running her business in the forest saved money on overhead.

/// Marianne donned her dress for The Fitting.

Wants it “tight as it gets without splitting.”

The gown needs to be wearable,

but with one boob that’s bareable,

since, to nursing her kid she’s committing.

Ladies wearing the tarps the painter used in his previous jobs.

Gladis was one of the first waitresses at Hooter.

“it worked for Janet Jackson, why not try it?”

Maenads, getting dressed to party with Orpheus.

Sorority girls, still drunk from last night and with no idea where their clothes are, are forced to wear the curtains

I hear the off-boob look is going to be BIG this year.

She looked a lot better than Katy Perry.

I’ve noticed that this artist in particular has a real thing for painting topless women.

“I saw it in the window and just couldn’t resist it!” (Carol Burnett)

Let me release an inch more on this hem. It will be so improper if the tip of your feet was to show while dancing, wouldn’t it?

LOL, “Bazongashire”, that caught me completely off guard.

Deja Thoris, “A Princess of Mars” is fitted with her nuptial gown. It’s traditional that one of the twin moons of Bazoom, er … Barsoom … is represented as shining.

Clever, but rejected, idea to signal a right turn

“I think this is suppose to go higher.”

The Lady Rosealind shopped the 50% off sale and the 50% off her knockers looks just dandy to me.

Do you know the way to Bazongashire?

I’ve been away so long

I may go wrong and lose my way

Do you know the way to Bazongashire?

I’m going back to find some peace of mind in Bazongashire

Least competent dressmaker ever.

The ladies of Tatasville will be so jealous.

Uneasy stares the head that wears the crown.

AW! NOW, I wish that I’d watched the Coronation!

“There. That should keep you from listing to the left.”

“If I’m going to the party dressed in this, it won’t matter where the hem is..”

The southern migration of an off-one-shoulder dress.

“The fabric’s too short. It’ll need to hang lower to cover your ankles and protect your modesty.”

Actually, this dress DOES make your butt look fat.

Hope the style catches on……

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3127 (May 8, 2023) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu (even larger, if you trim what’s after .png from the URL). I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcher’s approval) pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. First work by this artist used here.

“The Fitting,” 1887

“See? You tugged again! You are not supposed to tug when pinning!”

lady being fitted for dress thought dress maker knew she was going to the ball not to the naked picnic the next morning..

How did you get this zipper caught in your thong….

Marianne, you have great Cooper ligaments, I don’t think we need to add a soft bra.

Remember …

One if by land, two if by sea.

What’ll I do with all this extra fabric? Would it make a nice shawl or something?

I thought that was Dame Nipplington
