• Frivolous Entry

  
  

  I've got a new dress.  Purple chiffon, and it will demote beautifully to a ceilidh dress in a couple of year's time.

  
  

  Now.  All I need is a man to take me to the Summer Ball (them: Hollywood Glamour), and I'm sorted.

  
  

  I tell you.  It's a wonderful dress.  And will look even better when I'm madeup and coiffed.

  {Edit: By popular request.  Pictures.  Really rubbish ones that I took, and then decided not to post since I thought I might do better with someone else taking them, and, perhaps, not wearing the dress over jeans and a belt....}

  
  

  I don't have a full length mirror in a convenient place for taking photos, at least, not without cutting off my knees.  Which is a little annoying, and, photos in mirrors just look weird.  Yes, I could have gotten very organised, and used the timer thingy, and set the camera up on the tripod, but I'm far too lazy.

  
  

  You can't see the detail too well in these photos either - there is beading all up the triangular bits on the bodice, and different beading (just visible in the top photo) where the triangles join the rest of the bodice, and then (you can just see them) there are beads at the bottom of the skirt.  The scarf is also quite, quite wonderful, and beaded.

  
  

  For some bizarre reason, the bag was tied with bright pink ribbon, and had squoofy hearts put into it.  Not quite what one expects on Camden High Street, even if one is shopping in a boutique (a boot-eek! as my Father used to put it.  I think you had to be there for it to make sense).

  
  

  End of mega edit.  I suspect the pictures will look better on everyone else's machines, since this screen tends to darken}
