BELLA~ Personalised birthday card ~

This attractively costumed woman was Empress Alexandra Feodoravna who lived from 1872 to 1918. Her dress was worn by Russian ladies of rank in the 1910's. This picture came from a book of costumes, published in 1865. I have used the picture to create a birthday card, personalised for Bella. This card would appeal to a wide range of people including students of history, an historian, a choreographer, a costume maker, an actor, an artist and anybody really, who enjoys reading about or researching historical times. It is just very chic and pretty.
