And the Winner Is....


Elle Saab Gown


Well, as promised, here are my three choices for gowns for the Oscar's on Sunday. I think my friends here at the condo thought I had lost my cookies when I was outside taking pictures of my paper doll under the trees!  I had to make excuses that I was taking pictures for a child's book.....


Christian Siriano Gown
 Check out the links if you want to see what they look like on the runway.  My apologies to the designers if I have not represented them correctly~


Oscar de la Renta
 I'd love to know which one is your favorite or what YOU many want to wear if you were going!  I know which one I'd wear......

  1. Paula, my favorite is the Oscar De La Renta! The red color is always a plus and Oscar do gowns like no one else!
    I meet him back in the early 80's at a Mall in San Juan,( P.R.) when he was promoting his accessories and perfumes line. He was so charming!!!

  2. My favorite is also the Oscar de la Renta...and your sketches are beautiful....I am having enough trouble deciding what to wear to my daughter's wedding...there is no way I would know what to wear to the Oscars. But, I like the female star from King's Speech who wears whatever she wants!!

  4. Paula, these are wonderful! You are so talented! I love Oscar de la Renta so much, he seems so personable and charming and I love that he worked for Balenciaga in his youth. So while I like the other two gowns, I'd have to go with Oscar all the way.

  11. I like you picture of the Ellie Saab gown, better than I like the actual picture of the gown!

    I'd pick that but I think the Oscar gown is more traditional for the winner.

  12. I would go with the middle one, both for the interesting color and fabric... but more importantly, the ability to sit in those teeny auditorium without my pooch popping out and/or creasing the lap lines of a tighter skirt!

    But this does come from the girl who titled a post "Bring back the hoopskirt".

  14. So you totally nailed the Giuliana Rancic in Christian Siriano look! As soon as I saw her on the Red Carpet, I remembered your paper doll in this dress!

  15. I would pick the Oscar de la Renta red dress. Your other choices are also gorgeous.

    I also loved the simple, elegant dress Reese Witherspoon wore.
