Apparently embroidery is back in fashion (baby). I think there's a time and place for everything and this dress is worthy of being worn whenever , wherever. I last wore it in summer when bare arms and legs were the accessory of the hour. These days thermal tights are in order, just to err on the side of caution. I popped a dress underneath to keep toasty (and modesty as it's a tad short on it's own) and wore my grey ankle boots which I tend to wear all the time but as yet, haven't appeared on the blog.

Embroidery to the neck and sleeves with a few bangles and a statement necklace - it belonged to my grandmother.
I just adore the swathes of snowdrops on verges, under trees and lurking here and there. You don't need to make a pilgrimage to Walsingham to see a few - take note all those who fall into that cliche.

An alternative little black dressing up.
