Things are always in flux at Lilly Absinthe and nothing ever remains the same…”This Old Thing” is getting its third re-fashioning so it can reflect my current taste. There’s still mine tailing dust in her pleats from Tombstone which bleaches and eats fabrics…so I added taupe silk pleats (dirt colored) at the hem. I’m sure it’s one of the reasons for the fad of brown and tan gowns in the late 1870s! 🙂
