Description
Dora DuFran, the Black Madam of Deadwood, ran a string of brothels in the Black Hills. Her most famous watering hole, “Diddlin’ Dora’s,” advertised itself as “Three D’s–Dining, Drinking, and Dancing–a place where you can bring your mother”. Whether or not mothers were really welcome at Dora’s place, her reputation as a madam with a heart of gold won her the hearts of cowpokes all through the Dakota Territory. Designed as the corset dress for all sizes, the ensemble features a boned brocade bodice enhanced with contrasting trim and bows. The lace-trimmed satin shoulder strap is intended to allow ladies to conceal their undergarments. Finally, the mid-length satin skirt has an organza-over-lace, gathered ruffle.
