dresses that I always wear for formal events (black - tie, weddings): (1) a long sleeved, high - necked, knee length black lace

version of the same above, with the optional lace underskirt (3) an amazingly intricate ivory leather macrame flapper
dress uner which I wear a dark brown long, stretch singlet
dress (so comfortable again)(4) a vermillion small V - neck, long bell sleeved, straight cut, long, widens - at - the -(just above ankle) hemline

version of the vermillion lace
