  Dress of the Day, 108, Best blue, best foot forward. Photo by Trevor Sharot.

The Dress is Berkertex imitation velvet, but according to the washing label it is polyester. The reversible scarf, is black one side, dark green the other with a blue tinge. It looks like velvet but, is probably the same sort of fabric as the dress, polyester.  The scarf is fastened with an antique brooch. The heavy cardigan coat is black with applique black velvet and tiny iridescant beads. Notice the return of the umbrella with the cat's head handle. The umbrella has a canopy in black with black cat's paw prints. C lick on the picture to see the footwear. The black ankle boots are by German brand, Josef Seibel.  Comments and captions please.
