When the girls dress like the boys x white tie and tails VIII. Marlene Dietrich understood men’s clothes better than most men. And style wise she was far ahead of her time. In a time in which women were more or less stuck to skirts and dresses, she started raiding the male wardrobe to add to her collection of dresses and gowns. She had her men’s tailors, shirtmakers and cobblers (she frequented quite a few) make her suits, blazers, sports coats, shirts and custom made trousers. But only Knize in Vienna and Eddie Schmidt in Hollywood made her many tails. Fun trivia: Dietrich’s starched shirt cuffs were directly attached with a hidden buttoned fastening in the sleeve of her dress suits. So she wore sleeveless shirts with her tailcoat, that allowed for quick costume changes and slimmer, more feminely cut jacket sleeves. And while costume jewelry was always worn with stage costumes, for Marlene’s favorite white tie and tails, the cuff links were always her own- from Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels or Trabert & Hoeffer.

“You are a strange one, aren’t you,” she drawled conversationally. “Usually I barely need half a whisper— they stumble about all over themselves to get splashing in the water, making a great commotion as they flounder under. Are all land-folk so desperate?”
“Quite a wonder that part’d be omitted from the tales of capture,” the captain chuckled. “But I imagine such fools sail for weeks with a long-nurtured thirst for a comely face.”
The mermaid flicked her tail upward, peeking out from under the water. “Or they do not have a will half so well-crafted as yours.”
The captain reached down, taking the creature’s hand in hers. She made no move to break eye contact as she lifted her hand, pressing her knuckles to her lips. “Nor, I should think, did they have temptresses half so lovely.”
Blinking in stunned silence for but a moment, the mermaid smiled slow as she regained her composure. “Why, captain,” she said, fluttering her lashes in half-jest, “did I not know better, I would guess at scales and fins of your own under those breeches.”
