I do love that! Have you seen the pics the BM have of someone wearing it?! :)

Yes, amazing, but so heavy! Chic though...

It's enormous!

Dr Green, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the pictures you post. These are things I would not have the opportunity to see in person. Just seeing them raises my spirits and ignites my imagination
Thank you! -
That's very kind of you, I'm glad you enjoy! :)

Well, you could try....! ;)
