I have to admit that, all the work and preperation that went into this outfit made this my most favorite out of the whole weekend. I hadn't the chance to try it on all together before Coco as my wig was still with Josie so I was super pleased at how it all worked together! I really sort of felt regal for an evening!! Again, Greeneyed Nana did a most fabulous job with my wig! She is truly a rock star!

Like all Shire books it’s quite small, but it packs in a lot of really interesting information.
