Hi Susan, It could be the same gown as the bodice was completely made up of leaves, though my recollection was that they were of variable peach tones and I don't think I ever saw a picture of the whole gown--only the bodice. Odette is also with Hotel de la Dentelle I believe, so it was definitely from the same source. I certainly agree with "dreamy" ....and yes, it would be very interesting to know who the lucky owner is! Vicki from Maryland....currently in Port Townsend, Washington, USA for a spinning class with Judith MacKenzie
