Dress Up

Party dresses remind me of fun times, but sometimes it is good to dress up at home.

Hand Beaded silk skirt

Silk velvet silk lace 1950's dress

I purchased this dress from Marilyn Monroe's estate many years ago and have worn it a couple times. I wore it to a Queen's Garden Party and to a punk rock concert. There is hand beading on the bodice over lace, tule nettin fairy skirt, silk underlays that float.

Hand beaded 1950's simple sheath dress I wore this pregnant with my first child

 This dress was also purchased from Marilyn Monroe's estate many years ago. I have only worn it once. The skirt is fuller than a circle but the silk and organdy are so fine it lays flat when standing
