Christy's (on the right) had a button incident in the mail, but I found a similar red one and glue-dotted it on as a replacement. What you probably can't see in the photos of this gem is that the buttons around the waist have been colored with alcohol inks. How cool is that!

Paula's (on the left) is a low-cut marvel; luckily it has some of those little ribbon straps to hold it on the hanger! It also appears to have a working belt with a wicked belt buckle, but I'm not going to open it, since I am belt-challenged.

They are lovely, and if I had a really narrow rod in my closet, they would be hanging already. One of these days, I'll have to make some sort of really cool shadow box to hold all the wonderful one-for-one swaps I've received from my PAO sisters.

Thank you Paula and Christy!
Glad you like it! And yes, the belt buckle works :lol:
