You have a distinct creative voice in art and it always leaves a person amazed. It has been nice knowing you artistically on DD. In the Bible this pray was prayed may you prosper and be in health as your soul prospers and that is my prayer for you.
I haven't done much commentary on accessories but this one demands that I do. How you accessorized this garment is perfect. The blue beaded necklace of sapphire and the earrings with the gold dangle is a superb choice. Any thing more elaborate would have been ostentatious. You emulated the original in not ignoring the need for jewelry and it works so well here. As I view the design my first crown is for accuracy. You didn't deny or ignore the integrity of the original but tossed the lace, too girly girl for your taste and you chose to use the meatalic threads vertically for embellishment. When a look is sophisticated less is more and you mastered that concept beautifully. You enter the room and the dress is like a whisper, it is going to capture everyones attention. Then to strategically place beautiful yellow daffodils at the knee to crown beautiful pleats and then a thread of the gold at the hem to complete the look is a brilliant idea. She earns a pretty crown for this look. Her hairstyle is lovely lovely lovely. She is cast in the role of Tracy Lord in the Philadelphia Story which is a role that was played by Katherine Hepburn. If you get a chance view the film and enjoy this classic. Oh let me say that you receive 2 crowns for beauty 1 crown for accuracy and one crown for originality. I will give one today and when I get home I will give the others because it is difficult to give them on this computer. Oh but do let me share that I really like the background and the clever way of showing that the window needs shutting for snowflakes are falling in the house. She rushes to close the bedroom window. The wall sconce is lovely and the candle is working hard to give light to the room as wax is steadily falling. Such detail is praise worthy. You have done an outstanding job and I thank you.
