| Description: | Fabulous Fashions. When they stage a Fashion Show at Universal City it's no bargain basement affair - the models, jewels and gowns arrive by armored car! The show is presented the Los Angeles chapter of Theta Sigma Phi, the women's journalism sorority. It's all for Charity as 52 designers theme their brain-children to the title of Sandra Dee's latest movie" "I'd Rather Be Rich". You'd have to be to afford fancy duds like these. This is a fashion show that is held outside on the Universal lot, a runway is set up and you see a model walking on the catwalk. It looks like its pretty crowded too. Sandra Dee and the Director of the movie 'I'd Rather be Rich' director. A tall model gets out of a van wearing a unique inspired style dotted with jewels. Sandra Dee looking at dress. Agnes Moorehead is seen in the audience and at the same table seated behind Agnes is Lauren Bacall. Sandra Dee trys on necklace. The next model is wearing denim jeans and stylish beaded linen / rayon blend blouse. Model is wearing a two tone V-neck bathing suit with diamonds sewn on. Agnes Moorehead is seen in the audience and at the same table seated behind Agnes is Lauren Bacall. The next model has a tiger print, hip hugging loose leg pants, with a tiger print bandeau with spaghetti straps, and when it gets cold she has a tiger stripped jacket to keep her warm. For that time period this bathing suit was pretty daring. It looks like it could be sheer rayon chiffon, with the jewels sewn on strategic places on the bust line the bottom of the suit is a silk box leg cut. All the models come on to the cat walk showing off some of the exquisite feminine gowns, bathing suits and lingerie. | |
