Venice October – I can not resist these wonderful masks, but you have to wear equally beautiful dresses to go with them. I found a couple in shop windows that would do the trick, but just a little on the expensive side, so photos will have to do.
If you look at the poster in the bottom photo, you will see that there is a Grand Ball in Venice on the 25th February 2017…..better start saving 🙂

Echoes of the Past 
I’ll put in an order for the blue dress with the blue shoes ,not sure of what mask yet.. lol, I maybe first should take a class on how to walk in such a dress.:)) just curious how much does one cost?
Ah you like the blue one, now that one will be one arm and a leg 🙂 …..but in reality they range from about 500 euros upwards, and that I think that would be about 600 to 700 dollars, but then can go up to a couple of thousand euros….. and more 🙂
Oh wow! I would have guess $200… that’s definitely an arm and a leg!
Well that was quite an expensive shop, I am sure that there is cheaper ones, but not as nice……but I will not be buying one, its a bit like the german dresses for the beer festival, very pretty to look at 🙂
So agree on the just pretty to look at! :))
I’m not much into fashion and accessories Lynne, but those masks and gowns are amazing!!! You would look perfect walking up and down Royal Terrace in Edinburgh, in the 1800s with those on 🙂
Yes Andy, they would be perfect and what a setting for them. They are amazing and I would love to be there at carnival time, you could get some wonderful photos, maybe one year 🙂
Here’s hoping 🙂

Wow so elaborate 🙂 I hope you do get to wear these at the masked ball! 🙂
Ha ha I would love to wear one, maybe one day 🙂
