 This is a very informal look at these beautiful formal gowns, posted by the folks who embroidered, beaded, fitted and sewed them.

I had a question about the side dangly thingamies off the coronets...I have usually seen them as multiple strands, not just one. Do you know anything about the hows/whys of why they did just one ?

Just curious. :)

Haven't a clue - will ask Vitus next time he's wearing them, if he knows.

But yes - I expected a large pendant at the end of a double-string of pearls, akin to Xristina's.
