This year's Christmas fantasy gown was inspired by a very exclusive number from La Perla. It evolved quite naturally into a veritable festival of silky lace, deep red and black velvet, and a modest sprinkle of tiny satin bows, crowned by perfect little pearls and a 21-large pearls necklace. A lethal combination designed to warm the coldest winter night to a sizzling apex. To be enjoyed in appropriate company. Merry Christmas...

I have modified this outfit into a classier, better-finished version now...
