    Hi and happy superbowl sunday to those who care :)

    Check out this neat costume! I really wish I could make out the name tag within but not having luck!

    it's bright red satiny- it has a stain on the flat pleated front part but I'm nervous to soak it- what do you guys think?

    super elaborate with a little bow tail and sequins but looks handmade, back metal zip

    thanks as always for thoughts IMG_6443.jpg IMG_6444.jpg IMG_6445.jpg IMG_6446.jpg

    Yes I came to that conclusion w the name too and when I google it plus “choir” I get an 85 year old who has been in a church choir for 40 years. Maybe?! :)

    Now that's interesting! So it could be a "maybe". ;)

    Since it is satin and has sequins, I agree with not soaking it, but hopefully more folks will weigh in with some cleaning tips.
