The beadwork is lovely, and bravo to you for getting it for $20. As I get older I find that the question of "how do I clean this" is closer to the top of my list of criteria when buying clothing - can you hand wash it?<br /><br />Your hair is sooo much longer than when I first "met" you - I really Forest City Fashionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428940427287921203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115841618725638085.post-31784842868974196852018-05-04T23:52:56.085-07:002018-05-04T23:52:56.085-07:00I'm so perverse that the minute I packed away ...I'm so perverse that the minute I packed away my winter sweaters I was desperate to find a cashmere the very next day. This ornate top was an astouding find and not in the least bit ugly I'd say. My inclination would have been to wear it with jeans, and so this pleated skirt is a clever twist.

I only hope the beader/s were reasonably paid for their work.<br />It's absolutely stunning and I'm so glad it's found it's way to you - who will actually wear it, rather than just keeping it for an Radostinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05891397765534930525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115841618725638085.post-18629917728730819622018-05-02T18:03:03.855-07:002018-05-02T18:03:03.855-07:00Thanks so much, Elle!
