Well, I read all the bow/ribbon comments and I agree that the dress doesn't need the bow.

Starwise and pbrown, both of you commented on the fact that we might not be able to see the dress color properly and maybe there were blue stones we couldn't see.

So, I enlarged it and I THINK it has some blue stones along the all of the trim on the jacket. Even at the wrist.

I think. There's definitely SOMETHING there, but I can't get it clearly.

But, the bow still looks strange.

I would post it, but I can't remember how to enlarge it. My browser will let me zoom it but not save it zoomed.

So starwise and pbrown, it looks like you two may be right.

TO ALL WHO ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE TURQUOISE RIBBON AT LAURA'S WAIST: (a little humor with the color here...ha ha)

Some of your comments about the color of her earrings, and what color is sewn into the dress, are on the right track. And Ohio correctly pointed out that it is NOT A BOW.

Let me add that Laura's eyes are TURQUOISE. In sum, I am certain that in person this creation - and the lady wearing it - looks stunning beyond words.

In photos, I myself still like it, but that is just me...hillbilly, know-nothing, "bow"-loving West Texan that I am(as is Laura a West Texan).
