In your neighborhood, it may be the daffodils that herald the arrival of spring, but in ours, it’s the sight of Dolores shedding her winter layers to reveal the burgeoning, brilliant blossom underneath. The ultra-flouncy Spring Lamb Ensemble from Franklin Habit is aflutter with ruffles everywhere, from the hat to the hemline knit in Coronado. Longtime fans will, of course, recognize this retro-chic ensemble as a nod to her second act costume in the 1958 Broadway musical Hooves Aplenty! Dolores quite literally stopped the show when after her featured number, “I Put the Baa in Baaaaaaaby,” the entire audience walked right out onto 43rd Street and was never seen again.
