Shop at Brigadeiro's: Rachel Roy, Hussein Chalayan & Brian Reyes dresses
Rachel Roy dress has wide half sleeves, contrast net panel at back, box pleats, a tonal metallic panel at front and back, side seam pockets, an internal elasticated waistband and net lining with hook fastening. 69% viscose, 31% polyester; fully lined.
After I bought this dress I realized I had another one very similar to it, so never got to wear this one. The dress up for grabs is the 'natural' coloured dress, apologies for the sun on the bottom half, the upper half is the part that is true to colour. The mesh is shearer than it appears on the Net-a-Porter's mannequin. Wear this day or night
US$169
Size M (sizing is flexible)
US 4-6 (maybe up to 8)
UK 8-10 (maybe up to 12)
Approximate measurements, as this dress is hard to measure:
Length: 44"
Waist: 31" unstretched (can stretch a few inches)
Bust: harder to measure, as there is no 'armpit' seam to measure from, but I would say it would accommodate a minimum 34" bust to 38 or more, because of the front 'wrap' style.
Hips: free because of the A-line skirt.

New, never worn, with tags still attached. This dress by brilliant designer Hussein Chalayan is exactly like the one in the runway, but in a more wearable fabric of pink & cream silk. LOVE the detailing around the halter neckline, closes with a side invisible zip, fully lined. Unfortunately it has been sitting in my wardrobe unused for quite some time, with tags still attached.
100% silk
US$369 reduced to $199 so I can clear my closet

Brian Reyes runway ivory silk dress US2 BNWT
Incredibly reluctant and tentative sale, as I may change my mind about this. Purchased when I was a small US 4 I thought I would lose the weight I had gained at the time to fit into this dress, as it was so so stunning. Unfortunately, the scales went the wrong way, and I never got to wear it! I am still hoping for a miracle, hence I have not tried to part with it until now (I may still be in denial). The dress for sale is exactly as above, and comes with a 100% silk slip, and the dress itself is 100% silk. Absolutely stunning! Could be worn as an evening dress or even a 'modern' wedding dress...

Shop at Brigadeiro's: Stella McCartney - dress, skirts & blouse.
My wardrobe 'equilibrium' is not doing too well (i.e. too much coming in, not enough going out), so I am trying to remedy this by clearing some of my favourite pieces (you have to be cruel to be kind) in the next few days, so watch this space!
Stella McCartney runway silk dress US$1645 size 38 - SOLD!
www.firstview.com
Only worn once, for a few hours. This dress buttons all the way down (press stud buttons), so can be worn open, if you wish to do so, or closed, as shown on the runway by the stunning Lily Donaldson. In excellent, as new condition (I recently found myself the same dress one size bigger, which I felt was more forgiving on my 'expanding waistline').
US$369.
100% silk
Italian size 38
US 2-4
UK 6-8
Hips: 36" (at the widest part)
Length: 39"
Stella McCartney red silk pleated skirt size 40 (fits smaller) - SOLD!
click to enlarge
New, never worn. So sad to part with this as it is so cute! A flippy flirty skirt that would look stunning with a t-shirt, blouse or blazer, dressed up or down, in Winter or Summer (even though it is a Winter piece).
100% silk, beautiful pleated detail.
Closes with an invisible size zip & engraved button.
Italian size 40
(I find this runs small, please see waist measurement)
US 2-4

Waist: 24"
Length: 19"
Stella McCartney silk Monkey blouse size 40 - SOLD!
click to enlarge
Only worn once, again, only for a few hours. This gorgeous & versatile blouse has a removable collar and a cute monkey button (Stella seems to have a thing for monkeys and horses, don't you think?). The fabric is a gorgeous soft silk blend with almost a 'mesh' herringbone finish.
Italian size 40
US 4 - small 6 (although it will also fit a US 2 loosely)
UK 8 - small 10 (although it will also fit a UK 6 loosely)
80% silk and 20% cotton
Shoulder to Shoulder: 14"
Armpit to Armpit: 17"

El hallazgo de Norton
Ni siquiera la extraordinaria potencia luminosa de la bengala pudo iluminar toda la extensión de esa enorme cavidad pero Norton alcanzó a ver lo suficiente para apreciar su planeamiento y su titánica escala. Se encontraba en uno de los extremos de un cilindro hueco, de lo menos diez kilómetros de ancho y de largo incalculable. Desde su punto de vista en el eje central alcanzó a divisar tal cúmulo de detalles en las paredes curvas a su alrededor que su mente no pudo absorber más que una mínima fracción de los mismos.
Estaba contemplando el panorama de un mundo entero a favor del simple resplandor de un relámpago, y procuró con un deliberado esfuerzo de la voluntad fijar la imagen su mente.
