Black silk chiffon dress with hand cut glass jet black beads this heavily beaded gown is just gorgeous gorgeous Ah I so wish I owned this dress, but just think gang we could all easily make a dress just like this, all we need is black silk or silk chiffon or a ready made dress and just get the beads but its best to get glass beads and if we can hand cut glass beads, I know at "Michaels" Craft store they sell small packet of antique hand cut glass beads a pack is about 3 dollars but worth it, I bought some when I was making my first 20's dress and trust me its worth the extra money :) But I think we could all make this grand dress, and if you do decied to after its finished you must go out to a fancy restaurant and wear it eat well and yes drink well :)
Let me know if any of you decide to make this dress too :)

Wonderful gorgeous blue velvet and silk brocade with fur coat and yes I would wear it, I see no harm in wearing antique fur coats the animals are all ready dead I know i have gotten in trouble since i was a teenager as I would wear my grandmothers old fur coats they where from the 40's and 50's and looked grand and more important they belonged to my beloved Grandmother who had the best taste in clothes and make up and let us not forget jewelry :) But i see no harm in wearing old fur coats, and this one is just grand coat is from around 1923-26 and all so deco!

Wonderful platinum diamond and sapphire bracelet and would it not be perfect for this dress and coat? I love Platinum jewelry I am lucky enough to have 4 rings and one ring where just the mount is platinum and a pin, but I would not mind getting a bracelet or a pair of earrings heehee :) I will have to post pics of my platinum jewelry for all of you :)best place to find good and not too expensive platinum jewelry is on ebay and check out pawn shops cause if they get an old piece they want to just git rid of it, so a lot of times its like what you would have paid maybe in the 60's wow, so check it out :) Well thats it for my post today I really hope you all enjoyed it, and I hope I did not get too side tracked for you.
