...pics?...
It's uncut corduroy, looks like velvet, and looks better on than in this pic. It's relatively lightweight & I plan to wear it as a jacket/coatdress. It comes just past the top of my knees, and looks good with my velvet shoes. I was thinking governess based on what I saw in the catalog, but it's a bit more sexy than I'd anticipated

The closest I have to lace tights is the paisley w/ fishnet insert ones, those would be good I bet ... and softgrey, I was thinking of lace too ... I have this narrow ivory lace scarf that also works as a belt that I was thinking of pulling out for this ... haven't worn it in years. I was thinking of running it under the collar (another big collar, I'm addicted to them
) & just letting it fall. The ends of the scarf are esp pretty. I'll play with it ... I don't have any grey tights, unfortunately ... they seem to be pretty hard to find here (or now, not sure which
). I like the ribbon idea too ... but I'm uncertain as to whether I can make a really good rosette myself ...
I know what I want it to look like, but getting the ribbon to fray like that would be tough, I probably don't have the patience for it ... I need a stash of vintage/antique ribbon ... There is a ribbon shop here, I wonder if she could get me some pre-frayed ... she might even have some ... 


... I discovered some very nice shoes & boots that speak to this trend. I've never heard of this company before, but these are all from J.Marco.com ($108 to $375). They seem of good quality. Thought I'd share

I also have this RL sweater I was thinking about with this ... ivory scoopneck edged w/ crocheted lace, perfect for the sexy governess![]()
