The scent of Fall is in the air, Fashionable Reader. At least as far as the runways are concerned. I've been feeling the black and white as a result.
And now for the main character in the upcoming Parasol Protectorate Abroad series I give you several dresses. Prudence is fond of black & white.
For Prudence daytime:
For Prudence evening:
And the fan to go with:
Prudence reception gown:
And something for Primrose, who is a little more bold in her taste.
Retro Rack is also on facebook where I post additional images and fashion thoughts.
