One More Time

You are not seeing double! This is the second LRD post and since there are comments on the first one I won't delete it. I value your comments too much!

DH came in, saw the pics, and suggested he retake them. Here are his efforts. It will make him happy to know I showed you all what a great photographer he is ;).

You can see I changed jewelry. I have decided to go with the original jewelry choice in the last post, a simple pearl necklace and the red crystal dangle earrings. The open neckline is much more flattering, IMO. Just too much "stuff on the bust". But the idea here is to show you the dress. As far as the shoes, I don't think  these are the ones. DDs and I all wear the same size and do much shoe swapping when we go out. I will see what they have to wear when I get down in New England and go from there. Lord, I'm built like my grandmother. Isn't amazing how you can see the way a dress hangs on oneself is the same as a deceased family member?

And I can now show you that zipper detail. The color is a bit off for whatever, but you get the drift. The zipper, an invisible one, was hand picked. Then the beads were attached after the fact. I purchased an invisible zip but later decided it would be too easy to catch the lace in it so kept the same zip and hand stitched it. Here is a great tute on how to do it: beaded and hand picked zipper from the Bending Pins blog.

So, thank you dear hubby, for taking these pics, cleaning all the floors today, polishing the candle holders, telling me I'm beautiful, and just being here with your wonderfulness for another blessed Christmas...Bunny
