Don't let queen_mab_fae see this. She and I were disappointed she couldn't get a museum quality dress similiar to this. Such disappointment might be too much for her, but I will console her as she is a dear friend.

Actually, I am sure she appreciates you alerting her to it, so she can admire like I am.

It's too big for her, so you needn't worry!

I'm sure her friend who made the gorgeous 18th century gown could make her this. I know exactly where the patterns came from as I've made it myself.

She herself might have fun making this. I'll let you two talk. She might appreciate knowing where the patterns are.
If she sees this conversation, I hope she knows you and I are looking out for her. :)

It is too big for me too...

Perhaps I need to email you to commission something from you. And then we can walk around looking wonderful together and get our photos taken by some excellent professional photographers I know in the area.

I have to go to the PA/VA area soon any how this year...

*poutsnifflessighs* Too bad this dress isn't in my size! Then I'd actually have something to wear to your gathering when you set the date. ^^X

As it stands now, I'll end up having to come naked so I could be close to historical correct. ;P

Oh no! It's pretty much my size! Now to have an extra $300 suddenly... *pout* It's so beautiful. I love the detail as well. The buttons are precious.
