Dress clothes are still an issue for me.  Most of my dress clothes have zippers down the back and I cannot zip them without help.  My shoulders are healing but not quite that much.  The range of movement and strength is so much better then it was.  Though, if I take another superman fall anytime soon, I will be hurt again.

I decided that I needed an autumn silk dress for the wedding I went to last weekend.

My Beloved surprised me with earrings earlier this summer.  I love acorns and oak leaves so I decided to match the earrings to the dress I would wear.  I did not find an exact match but I found a nice complementary brown in the silk I was looking at.  He obviously did really well since I made a dress to compliment the earrings.  These earrings are packed in the tent currently so I am repacking a tent this weekend. 

The silk worked well for the beach.  The humdity was such that I was able to lay it out in the tent and the wrinkles came out.  I felt pretty which is really what counts.  I could wear this dress all the time.  I just might.
