(Ok, I just tried to type "Yeah" and swype suggested Riyadh. WTF?)
Yeah, ita !, I really like the idea of garnet, matching ribbon and crinoline.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wore black, pewter and garnet to the last wedding, but the garnet would be way less visible than a properly placed crinoline--it was just a necklace.
My sister calls it boring. I shall call it my trademark...

That choker makes me wish I could wear chokers. Gorgeous. I like the garnet, pewter, black color story for your brand.
I cannot find my torch and I have creme to brûlée. Woe.

Broiler works, -t. Not as well, and you have to watch it like a hawk, but it will do in a pinch.

Awesome, I will try that. Thanks!

You know, a dark red crinoline might be a bitch (or expensive) to find.
I could also do a pink choker and pink petticoats. That would be easier, and I think still quite rockable.

That's what I call black, gray, stripes and silver, honestly. It's not boring but I am just happy in a tight color band. With sparkles.

Trademark color palettes are good! I am in favor of them! (Even if I'm apparently adding gray and dark red to mine.)
Pink crinolines and a pink choker would be really pretty with that dress. Do you need me to send you pink ribbon? I kinda-sorta-maybe have a stockpile.

Broiler worked a treat! A little uneven, but I didn't burn the whole thing up and most of the sugar is appropriately charred, so yay!
I can see pink working very nicely.

I am actually set for pink ribbon! And for all I know, it's you who hooked me up in the first place, Jilli. I obsessively don't throw away any ribbon that I receive--so there's ribbon tied around random stuff. And I have some really long pink and black striped pieces I haven't picked a piece of furniture to bedeck with yet. About six foot of it. If only the internet had things like big bitching ankh, I might be totally set up.
So that would make it pink at the neck, ankh shopping (whee!), black tulle at the shoulders, peek of pink at the hem--sheer black hose with black fishnets over, and the granny boots.
Shit like this is entirely why my sister and I should not be mistaken for each other--sometimes we do show up identically dressed, but when we go fancy, we go in totally different directions.
Anyway, please let this work. I hope the dress gets here before I go home next week.
