Several people later remarked how afraid they were I was going to fall off the stage in my shoes. Dress: mother's. Longsleeve: gift, Old Navy. Slip: grandmother's. Tights: Nordstrom.

Above, short-sleeved black top: delia's. Longsleeve black thing: gift. Skirt: made by my grandmother. Tights: I forgot, but they are striped. Most excellent.
