This dress has a black velvet bodice and a thick black satin skirt, entirely hand painted in gold colour. I am also wearing clear plastic springolators with gold tone leather trims, a gold tone lucite purse, black bakelite bangles; gold and black earrings and a Selro necklace

I bought this dress from Tamara and Cyril’s vintage stall at a R’n’R weekender in the UK in 2007. The springolators are from an antiaue mall on Western street in Las Vegas, bought in spring 2010.

The bangles are from the US and Finland.
