My concern would be her skin tone. The wrong red with pale skin might make her look like a bride of Dracula which I don't think that is the look she is wanting. This will also be a summer month so a medium to pastel color would be more in tune with the day atmosphere (evening is another thing). The question is when "dream" is used with this dress, is it a "I have always fancied this dress but in a shade of red" or "I had a dream that I was wearing this dress but in the color of red". My NA side tells me that if the former then one should try to negotiate. If the latter, there is no negotiation, the dress needs to be red and as close of a shade of red that was in the dream.
As for the delays in post, have you appeased your cyber-gods lately? :) Actually from time to time it happens with just about everyone. I had a post delayed 10 days once. DE -----Original Message----- *************** I know! But when I hit the "send" button to my post, he had not mentioned the time of the event. He did however in the 2 FRIGGIN' DAYS it took for my post to show up. Why did it spend 2 days lost in cyber-space? Anyway, I hope he can get his client to chose a yummy red...like rich ruby...and something like a Jacquard. The expanse of skirt looks great with a pattern, and a one color pattern like a Jacquard would be sumptuous. It'll be drop dead gorgeous no matter what the fabric turns out to be, doncha think? After all, it is Bjarne.... Remember the film "Queen Margo"? I don't like it much but the gowns [practically all of them] were unadorned but made of jacquards and brocades and the look [a different period, it's true] was striking in that is was kinda modern but still period. Alas, every dress was identical, just in a different fabric. All the sleeves were the same....in a period about sleeves! So overall the costumes suck. But taken individually, the gowns with tight boned bodices and full skirts all of one patterned fabric had a striking effect. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
