I started with the most late Victorian leaning choice of course, naturally. Nothing says ready for summer like a high necked long sleeve midi dress in all black after all! Make this Gunne Sa style pattern up in a liberty print with ivory accents and you'll have the full prairie cottage feel in no time! Meanwhile I am psyched it's supposed to be cool enough today I can finally go for another walk in my local cemetery...I come upon my Mortica devotion quite honestly okay?
