Скачать или смотреть The Ratty Ramen Noodle Court Gown

I adore the Sleeping Beauties theme for the Met Gala this year. The exhibition explores the fragility of antique garments that can “no longer directly interact with the body” which reminds me of my poor ratty ramen noodle court gown. I posted a video trying her on two years ago and since this video was taken those beautiful butterfly gauze sleeve have started to shatter.

I still think it’s a good time to reshare this gown so please joy seeing her one last time! She was ratty as anything when I bought her and she’s still ratty now. She has no history and she’s in such bad shape no museum would take her and I wouldn’t donate her either. Having worked in museums she would just be stuck in a box in a storeroom labeled “No provenance”.

I’ve spent ages repairing her to the best of my ability and she has her own archive box downstairs. I like to take her out and admire her from time to time. I don’t advocate wearing this type of antique everyday but I also don’t see the harm in trying her on and giving her a spin for ten minutes before I put her back in the box.
