Bygonne has been wearing a long sleeved tunic fashioned from two pashmina 
shawls. It is a sure thing for instant dressup for 2016! Currently on the 
ironing board is a sweet mini dress for my grandaughter. Found a piece of kelly 
green eyelash that should suit this 13 year old fashionesta!
 Of historical fashion note" Queen Maud's dress form is wearing her Coronation 
Gown. It took me about 5 years to find the fabric. She isn't very patient nor 
obliging; I finally made a dress form for her (alas, not to be called 
TheDummy)because she had a serious problem with scheduling Fittings...

Mine would be wearing a hand-sewn man's Viking tunic and a woman's Viking coif. 
I'm doing some detailed embroidery on the coif for a friend who has had breast 
cancer this year.
