Ah. That would do it all right.
I love shimmery / shiny things. For example, shimmery gold threads in a tapestry really catch my eye. To me they give life to what surrounds me and I enjoy the play of light on them.
***That is a much better angle on that dress. But I am still not sure if I like it.***
Polly, we were a bit shocked when we first saw the designer's sketch of Laura's multi-colored dress with the short sleeves. But then we learned that the ball was a down-home sort of event, and Laura's dress represented that style. It was to pay homage to America's heritage. The shimmer of the material gave it a bit of glamour.
