Full-skirted confection seems to be the very best way to describe this one!

    Complete outfit consists of:

• Chinese silk-blend brocade corset top, lined in white cotton, laced with gold cord, though I did also include silk ribbon (shown in pic above) that matches the shoes.
• pure silk Dupioni skirt, waist of the same fabric as the top. This Dupioni is made of two colors of thread; royal blue and vivid turquoise - gives great depth and glimmer. *Note: skirt can and probably should be ironed, light steam iron is fine
• Shoes are made using Tonner shoes bases, with toes of the same brocade as the top and silk ribbon ballet laces.
• slip that flares widely at the bottom, two layers of shimmering royal blue sheer poly chiffon over turquoise tulle.
• Indian inspired dangle earrings of a variety of beads; Turquoise, Czech, Swarovski and goldtone Bali, multi-strand bracelet to match.
