portrait preview

Here's the dress we bought for Fiona's portrait (pictured on a model). I'm putting it behind a cut-tag in case you'd like to wait until I post the picture of her sixteenth birthday portrait (we're having her portrait taken a week from now).

It's freaking gorgeous on her. ( See here )

Here is the dress for Delia's thirteenth birthday portrait (sans model, just the dress) which will be taken the same day. A little harder to tell what it looks like, but she feels just as pretty in it. ( Again, it's behind a cut tag )

The best shoe option for wearing with both dresses are a pair of silver strappy sandals. They actually wear the same show size (much to Fiona's indignation) and, being immensely practical, they decided to buy one pair, which they will trade off for the portrait. We'll just have to find something else for one of them if they ever have an occasion to both get dressed up at the same time!

(And many thanks also to Grandma Mel, who purchased the lovely dresses and shoes for them.)
