Full skirted fashion!

That's me in the background there.  My friend Kelsey took the picture before I even realised I was in it, hence her lock of hair smothering my face, haha.  You can't quite see my full dress, but this is what my Nonna made me!  I absolutely love it even though the back piece is a little too large still after several fittings.  Ah, Nonna!

I wore it with a grey matte belt to mimic the silver lines that ran through the fabric, some flesh coloured stockings, my bolero you can see there, a beautiful pair of black pumps... and lastly, my beautiful, fabulous crisp black petticoat.  It made it floof out so lovely- I'm not even holding the skirt out in that photo, that's how puffy it made it.  I felt just like Betty Draper when I was walking around, the skirt and petticoat moving forward and back.

Grazie, Nonna!  Io amo il vestito! E 'così bello!
