Came across this lovely outfit on ebay. The color is difficult to see in the photo, but the seller assures us that it's pink. It's separates, top and skirt, plus a matching belt and handbag.
Having worn a Whiting Davis dress before I can tell you that it's an interesting experience. It's cold to the touch, so going on it's a bit goose-bumpy. But it immediately warms to your body. Seriously, there's nothing like the feel of metal mesh against your skin. Heavy, with movement like a snake, undeniable shimmer. When I had a Whiting Davis dress on I felt like a goddess, a living statue. It was definitely an attention grabber. Good times.
Via Zuburbia, we found this metal mesh dress by Douglas Ferguson. It's been on a supermodel and a magazine cover, but what I love about it is the bold, graphic floral.
The enamel surface design reminds me of teens-era Whiting Davis handbag designs.
Hi Daisy,
Thanks for your nice mention about my dress on your blog! there's also some other pieces including an amazing piece worn by Tina Turner on ebay right now......
Best,
Douglas Ferguson

Hi Daisy,
My name is Stella. I have a Whiting Davis mesh cowl neck halter top that I may be interested in selling. The top portion is two differnts shades of pink, and the bottom is silver. It is worn, but in very good shape. If you or anyone is interested, let me know.
Thank You

Those were really cool outfit. I think that would be suitable for a lady who is always on a disco. The color of that dress rhymes merely on the design.

Wow! I had no idea Whiting & Davis made clothes. I have a few of their vintage handbags (and love them!) but now I am dying to see, feel, buy, a mesh top. 9and I bet it is quite an experience to wear!)
