it is kicky! it's a fairly thick canvas which means it's stiffer and seems to hold its pleats better. it also isn't actually hot--it means it sort of stands out from the body and a lot of breezes go up under it.

and yeah - i'm really impressed with the bronze. it matches the fancy dress extremely well.

now to find something to do with my hair to match the vaguely flapper theme of the outfit. you know, short of cutting it all off...
