This elegant trio is just the right thing for the bride to be. It matches “The Wedding Wrap” pattern that is also available.
But of course there are other uses for these beauties. The bag could be a First Communion bag for that special girl in your life. It is also a very dressy bag for a night on the town. The gloves can be worn anytime. And of course we all know there is only one use for a garter! It is a very nice accent to your rear view mirror!
The bag and gloves have beaded accents throughout. Beads are optional of course. The bag is lined with satin and has ribbon handles. The garter has a piece of elastic sewn on the underside but could also be tightened with a ribbon woven around.
