It won't wreck the thread - unless she tells us. For all we know,
denisebrain may be the owner, but NOT the model. Then the model and
denisebrain may both be horn players. I did apprise denisebrain of all the
conjecture this one vintage dress has created on the Memphis list; however,
most of the interest seems to be held by those who probably, with only very
few, if any, exceptions, will ever wear the dress, unless it is made into a
vest, tie, or boxers. However, if the mystery will continue to generate
interest, she will never let us know and will use the horn as a prop more
frequently. And so, the Saga of the Dress, the Seller, and the Horn
continues...
