The Most Beautiful Garb I've Ever Seen In My Whole Life

I didn't take a picture of it.

I got all shy that day for some reason, and couldn't bear to be walking around sticking a camera in people's faces.  As a friend pointed out, they spent all that time getting dressed up, they must want to be noticed! Wouldn't it be a downer to go to all that effort and then not have everybody wanting to take your picture?  

But I went all shy and didn't take many pictures of people directly. 

I saw a lady wearing the most gorgeous dress I've ever seen in my entire life, and I would have asked her if I could take a picture, but she was sitting at a picnic table with her family and they were deep in conversation, and I stood there a couple minutes and they didn't notice me, so I walked off.

It was Accolade-shaped, but no upper-arm band, the sleeves weren't as long and it was BLUE.  It was just too pretty for words.



So I'm going to have to be poking around the internet looking for photo galleries hoping she appears in one, since she's now my elusive goal of costuming perfection.
