As usual I have arrived too late for the ball. Other commitments had beckoned.
May I present to you my Bloglandia gown. It is a combination of old and new. I have a treasure trove of goodies to work with so this was lots of fun. Antique white Broderie Anglaise was used for the petticoat, which is faintly visible under the billowing skirt of copper tulle. The bodice is draped tulle with a dangling beaded front. A black Edwardian lace over-shirt tops the tulle. Vintage ribboned trim gives a bustle effect at the back. The color scheme was influenced by hand dyed silk cocoon thread from a friend in England. To me the shades are the epitome of autumn.
Thanks eb for the inspiration to create. My carriage awaits!

Oh Susan:
Clap/Applause/Yeah/Ovation!!!
Can't you see Scoundrel & Rogue standing behind the Mulberry tree trying to get your attention. They gave Donna (Queen of Crowns) a lift home and came back to make sure any ladies were not without a livery at their disposal : )
You gave suggestions for them to keep busy last night and indeed they were. They shared stogies with Jack : ) Please enjoin them to sure you are safely home
Graciously

I am so glad your coach arrived. Your
gown is splendid, yes, I can see that
embroidery peeking through that skirt. Mine eye will go right to that
