These type gowns were in style for a couple of years in the Golden Era, mostly among starlets such as
Jayne Mansfield, and in 2004 experienced a resurgence among the prom crowd.

This delightful mermaid gown,
sent by Crinolyn, is special,
in that the bouffant portion
rises higher than most

We REALLY like this mermaid gown!

An excellent example of the fullness contrasted
with a slim bodice-hip area that says "woman."

From Crinolyn

Not all Spanish dancing is Flamenco,
but all Flamenco is Spanish dancing.
