Schiaparelli Lobster Dress.



Today, I would like a lobster dress and a mini pig.

The 1937 Lobster Dress designed by Elsa Schiaparelli was a simple white silk evening dress with a crimson waistband featuring a large lobster painted by Dali onto the skirt. It was most famously worn by Wallis Simpson in a series of photographs by Cecil Beaton taken at the Château de Candé shortly before her marriage to Edward VIII.
