Thanks to pinkdiamond for posting it a few days ago. I'm not frequently tempted by vintage garments but if I had a couple of hundred bucks to spare right now I would totally be bidding on this lovely! Perhaps I will just copy it one of these days instead... :>

Beautiful!!! *drolls on keyboard*

I agree that you should copy it -- yours would be much prettier, and then you wouldn't have to worry about it being Vintage, and falling apart or getting damaged. ;-)

Oh-oh-oh! Beautiful! I'm dreaming up a Victorian outfit to go with my new hat (http://www.flickr.com/photos/audreytoo/376730770/). I wanted to use velvet on it, but wasn't sure how. This gave me some ideas!

Off topic.

Jenny, just to let you know I have not forgotten about you, your packet will be send this Saturday...I have been so busy with school, in addition Vincent has finally allowed me to redecorate the upstairs TV room (only cause I bought him a plasma TV for his B'day). Plus, I have been staying away from LJ. Anyway, I hope you have not started work on your new stays yet...might as well let you know now. I'm sending you silk taffeta from Hyena Fabrics, in a puddy color. It was to be used for my stays for CC. Since I'm not going...well, I want you to have it. I thinks its 2 yards. Finally, I deleted a lot of unused email accounts and other things, so the best way to get in-touch with me is via my optonline account

Hugs,

Good to see you online again! Thanks for letting me know and thanks so much for the silk as well! You do spoil me. :> I'm eyeing a couple of your auctions so hopefully you will have a book or two to include in my packet, just as a heads up. :>
