Thanks!
That's what I was aiming for
. So many people went "elegant" and I was like... hmm... I want a ball dress but not some pale frilly thing, because that's not me and wouldn't feel right.

Thanks Niamh and Madhuri

I kept getting told yellow is a hard colour to pull off, but I seem to manage it okay

I like it...the combination with purple makes it stand out...
You know I have always wondered how an off-shoulder (or if there's another name for the type you are wearing) dress stays as is...without slipping down

If I ever wear such a type I know i'll be worried about the dress slipping.....haven't tried...
I think I read somewhere you were worried about weight...I think you look just fine...

Yes yellow is one of those colours that most people cant pull off but it suits you so well. And i love the purple contrast. makes me think of Iris's... but obviously dominant colour is reversed.

I love it,sprinks! The dress,hair and earrings are gorgeous!
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

(Nah ... it isn't angelical ... not that. I still search for the right word ...

[Actually, there's something in common between you and Niamh. I mean, no, er, you're very different, but I'm trying to find some same source for describing the beauty of each of you ...
I think you, Higley, look like a cat who's been mother. They're more ... gentle. Less ... treacherous, than young cats. (When they aren't bitter.) There's nothing bitter about you.
However, at the same time you look like a cat, you have something of of a horse as well. I'm .. afraid of horses. This is possibly why I can't actually describe completely your beauty ... I don't know.
As for Niamh, you look like a treacherous cat, Niamh. Tamed, though. A tamed lion(ess), as Ron Tolkien spoke of cats ...
I'm not sure Higley is a cat, but Niamh is a cat, all right! Well, it's my eyes.

The funny thing is, that base of the dress (the yellow part) was $7 from an op-shop, and the purple at the top is actually the belt from my mum's old dressing gown

. Then we found some tulle, and some silky material that matched, from which we made a ribbon for the back of the dress (will post picts of them later) and a wrap (which you can see in that photo up there


)
Hey! ... that's the part you never reveal to the public, Sprinks!
By all the thunders in heaven that fall!, a magician never reveals his secrets!!! !!! !!
Even so ... Who could tell, haha! Lol!
& You're still pretty, girl. (& I'm still proud of yo'.)~]
