UNRELEASED - The Canary

The Canary Murder Case - William Powell who of course is always been a favorite of mine from the classic movies and the Thin Man series who could forget! I saw this dress and the movie popped into my head.

The beautiful Margaret Odell, famous Broadway beauty and ex-Follies girl known as "The Canary", is found murdered in her apartment. She has a number of men in her life, ranging from high society to gangsters, and more than one man visited her apartment on the night she dies. It is Philo Vance's characteristic erudition that leads him to a key clue that allows him to penetrate a very clever alibi and reveal the killer.

This would be something she would wear don't you think? The texture is from a dress from the era of the movie (1927) and so canary! Louise Brooks was the canary :)

Our Miss Brooks

This is a red velvet dress inspired by Louise Brooks and therefore called "The Louise Brooks." Louise was in several movies during the 1920's and 1930's but was mostly known for her wild flapper lifestyle. She was also a good model and there are lots of designs out there that she wore. This one is a demure look with a flexi skirt and glitch pants and of course the hat! The poster as always is included.
