Hidden Treasure

Sometimes what's hidden beneath another piece of clothing turns out to be an unexpected treasure.  It could be a fabulous pair of shoes under a long gown or a beautifully tailored dress under a jacket or coat.

This navy satin dress from Madame Alexander's Greta Garbo Grand Hotel ensemble is not often seen without its navy wool coat and matching cloche.  I decided to make it the standout piece by accenting it with a silk navy and black herringbone cape, black suede hat, and suede gloves, all from The Couture Touch.   The necklace and earrings are borrowed from Fringe Festival Ivy Jordan's evening ensemble.  The purse is original to the dress and the shoes are from Ashton Drake.  Moss Rose Ivy Jordan is my model/muse.
