Hi Caz,  I took a break from unpacking ( I recently moved) to do a colour version of this lovely photo.I thought this fancy dress deserved some fancy colour.   :)   , Tommy

Hi Tommy

I wondered why we hadn't seen you around.  Packing and unpacking is an exhausting task, but a good excuse for a clean out if ever there was one!

Love what you've done, very pretty result!  Thank you for taking the time!

That really looks grand!!!  So elegant..

Glad you are enjoying viewing the colourings.  I had to share this pic, the dress deserves to be seen and the restorers are doing a fabulous job.

The neckline certainly reminds one of Queen Alexandra doesn't it.  What a wonderful photo, and dress!      ;)

It does indeed Wiggy.  It is a stunning photo and as soon as I saw it, I had to have it in my collection. 

I don't usually like colouring my own photos (unless they're family), but I couldn't resist this one.

 I would love to be flouncing around in that dress!

Certainly is stunning .... the hours of work that has gone into sewing it, not to mention the design :D

Stunning is certainly the word!  Can't wait to see the results!

Don't often get a chance to find a pic like this one.  The colourings are lovely aren't they!

The patience they must have had and the strain on their eyes!!!

Wish I knew who she was, would love for her descendants to see these colourings!
