It loses a lot of sparkle when on a hanger!<br /><br />Honestly, the Ditchley portrait and two of Henry VIII (young, then fat) are the only ones that had stuck with me. I think someone explained the significance of the map beneath her feet and it made the whole picture easier to remember.

Yes, sparkly tights will work well under that though, I am not sure anyone will see them, as it goes right down to the floor, as in that famous painting.... ;-) doesn't it? mammafairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08970531305586032149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8685674947919678458.post-72104917385599806642015-04-07T15:12:19.937+01:002015-04-07T15:12:19.937+01:00This looks so great.

Can't quite picture what you mean when you say the shell has no fastenings, but the lining has a zipper. But the dress is really great, and it does look like the EIR dress. <br /><br /> P.S.
