    3 from me
    I was in two minds about smoothing her dress/skirt & top but decided to give it only a slight 'do' so that the look of velvet remains

    If you would like colour or alterations, please say

            Thank you Jen
            It's a shame her little bag doesn't show any detail ~ it may have had a pattern or beads but it's not possible to see. Also, there's something around her waist area ... maybe a belt with flowers (a large rose ? on the left) but again the detail is not quite there.

            I'll have another look later

              I've highlighted some of the bits around her waist area which might be a belt with flowers attached.
              They could just be blemishes which look like flowers. There are an awful lot of 'blobs' ~ it's like staring into the flames of coal fire and seeing things

                You've got better eyesight than me Rachel, I can't see anything around her waist but I did put her purse under the microscope and it does appear to have a floral pattern of some kind.

                      Brilliant photos Rachel. If it's any help, I think I recognise the bag. It looks just like an evening bag that my grandmother had. It had a ruched effect either side that tapered towards a circle in the middle and the closure was a V flap - if you know what I mean.

                        Thanks Chrissie
                        Can't get at the detail of the bag/purse sufficiently to tell what it's like.
                        The surface of the pic is in quite bad condition in places + the pixellation
