Mourning grannie??
my dh goes in a drooling reverie (mmmmmm, lace...) thanks to his biker/punk years memories of women in lace!

Good legs don't age!

Well that's what I tell myself
However I don't much care for the first dress myself. Prefer the second one.

Oh yes I love it.. have long legs and neck though - would look fab with think black tights, black shoes and chunky silver or black jewelry. I want it but have promised myself no more expensive clothes this year.
