Colour at these occasions is important and makes you feel so much better.

Not sure what the 'official' name of the gown is, but I have always referred to my one as an 'academic gown' I think you made a great choice with the dress fabric, a lovely pop of colour under the gown is much more exciting (and more you) than plain boring black! Enjoy the day...JJudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16406164663751567997noreply@blogger.com
