A Dedicated Follower of Fashion

I wore this dress, you may remember, to a holiday event at a local late-19thc estate, and have been working on the beading off-and-on since then. This past Saturday was a good friend's bachelorette party, which we celebrated by going to see the new Gatsby film in costume. Didn't get any good pictures then (hey, it wasn't about me!), but I made an effort to get some this week! The front of the skirt is now beaded, so it was quite presentable. Very cool "film noir" shot, fixed up by Robin of SewLoud 's hubby! We keep him around to make us look good.

As per usual, it's not done -done, but done-enough-to-be-worn! Which it was, last night, to Cairnwood by Candlelight , and at which I got precisely zero good pictures. So you'll have to make do with one or two bad ones for now.
