That would definately work
Maybe a string of long beads round her neck, and a headband with a feather in it round her head. Maybe just the dress for tomorrow and a trip round the charity shops to complete the outfit before opening nightSorting my life out one day at a time0 -
oh Pooky you poor thing, my children do this sort of thing to me all the time. :rolleyes: The shift dress sounds good. Have you any beads, I have it in my head that they wore a lot of beads then and can you use some of the fabric to make some sort of a head band, maybe with some feathers? I'll post if I can think of anything else.

There is a great 1920's top here. I keep promising to make myself one.
