After many years of upgrading my Faerie dress, I have finally reached complete satisfaction.
I first saw this gown hanging in a little store in Big Sur, Ca many years ago. It is hand made by a local seamstress with beautiful dupioni silk, elaborate silk roses, and corseting up the sides and back. I tried it on, danced around the shop, and then with sadness, put it back on the hanger and left. It has never left my mind. I happened to be traveling by the same little shop 3 years later (last week), and the dress was still there!
I had to save it from it's doom of being covered with dust. Now it can see the light of day, and meet many smiling faces along the way. Hooray!
This is such a beautiful dress. Especially beautiful on you.
