Happy Halloween

Look, I'm dressed as a middle aged woman...BOO!

While we wait for the evening's festivities, let's have a look at a lovely 1980's does 1940's dress I bought new.

Heavy wool, excellent sleeves, velvet trim at the collar-this dress has all the things I love.

Velvet buttons, I mean come on, how could I ever get rid of this dress?

The fit is roomy, and loose which is great for comfort, but not the most flattering to my body shape. Eh, whatever. Comfort wins.

A great wool shawl is vital with this dress as the sleeves are a pain to fit though most coats.
