Memories of Gothic cathedrals and castles from another life and time came crashing over my mind, like the images of the English seaside where Mary Shelley first envisioned her Frankenstein. Violent, angry waves hurtling over the mountain cliff, lightning piercing the sky, and the deep dreadful roar of thunder cracking outside the castle walls. The voice on the wind brought trembling to my heart . . . . and so I relived some of the images from one of my favorite novels of all time. This black lace dress over a raspberry wine-colored under layer just brings those images to mind. It is definitely a charmer, but don't be deceived - it has all the personality of a Gothic princess. You will love it!
