@anne_the_noob14 and @r-m-archer Thanks for the feedback!!!

I was worried that the puff sleeves would be too much, but you two convinced me to go for it!

@anne_the_noob14 since you wondered how to describe the dress, here’s what I came up with — before adding your silver shoulder bead… thingamajigs.
Not sure if it’s “good” or not, but… I guess this is also serves as my quote of the day! 🙂

When she finally did appear at the top of the grand staircase, time itself seemed to stop.

Dancers froze in mid step and turned and stared up at the pretty young Urchin in a burgundy gown to shame anything on the floor.

The sleeveless, but high-necked bodice her gown was of delicate silver cord artfully scrawled into a single, symmetrical design leading down to an inverted peak at the waist. The design almost led one to think of the breastplate armor of a high-ranking officer of old.  Yet the explosion of ruffles below couldn’t have been more feminine with innumerable scallops of fabric flowing down in a series of overlapping folds like the petals of an inverted blaze rose.

She wore elbow-length gloves and a pillbox hat to match, but beneath its miniature veil the sparkle of the lights glimmered flatteringly within her pale blue eyes and made them stand out like pools of liquid electricity.

Looking down into the sea of gawking faces, the Urchin smiled, but covered her face with a hand and looked away.

P.S.  How is it that you can share a pinterest link but it eats mine?  Bwaaaaaah!!!! 😛
(Maybe I should bring it cake next time.)
