black velvet maxi dress long sleeve Rose-Detail XS The Angela Black Velvet Burnout Long Sleeve Maxi is a subtly sexy number perfect for a holiday party Black Velvet Lace Maxi Dress

Long bishop or short puff sleeves

A cropped cardigan or lightweight blazer gives it a more polished finish for brunch, a summer office gathering, or an evening on the terrace

The Diotima dress also has plenty of interest with the mix of colors and textures, so again, no need to accessorize

Wigs are totally optional, but I loved looking closer to the character, and loved not having to do my hair even more for our Peter Pan Costume pictures

Hippy-chic casual gold dresses will work great with tasteful brown sandals or some pumps

Now, 180 years after Queen Victorias wedding, the time may have come to bring some color back to the big event.
