Natasha's Virtual Prom!

Well, I am so excited to be going to Natasha's Virtual Prom!! I have taken pics of my "outfit" and hope you enjoy them. Here are all my pretties laid out on the bed ready.

Of course I have chosen my favourite colour of soft pink, with ivory, silver and rhinestone accessories.

Lovely vintage soft pink lace dress, that I bought years ago from a vintage op-shop. It's so beautiful, but unfortunately it is waaaay to small for me!! So my scrolly mannequin will be modelling it for you today. I think I will add a vintage rose to the waist instead of the belt.Beautiful pretty pink lace with a rosey swag pattern all over. Stunning!


Now to the all important accessories! I think I had better take this vintage ivory faux fur wrap for later on...don't want to catch a chill!!

Of course, what outfit would be complete without some sparkly vintage rhinestone jewellery. I have gone for plain understated jewellery today, so that we don't take away from the beauty of the dress!

Nice soft pink gloves, vintage rose for the corsage and a lovely vintage beaded handbag.

Here is my scrolly mannequin (Lily Rose) modelling my lovely prom outfit.



Well, I hope you have enjoyed seeing my pics. I am off to have some punch (non-alcholic of course) and a quick whirl around the dance floor.

See you all at the prom!
Kathy xo

The lace in your dress is beautiful. How lucky are you to have a treasure like that in your closet complete with the angora sweater no less.

Followed the links from Natasha's site for the virtual prom, what a great theme for a party.

Had fun looking at your pictures of sunny Brisbane. The stocking ornaments you created are the cutest things.

I would buy that dress, too, even if it didn't fit. What a find! You've planned the perfect prom!

Why did they make all these gorgeous old dresses so little?! And how in the world did my mother fit into them? Ugh! Loved your dress - the lace is amazing. Blessings... Polly
