Not So Casual Friday

If you read the Blackbird Sisters Mysteries, you know Nora spends most of her evenings out on the town--attending all kinds of social events.  On Fridays, she tends to show up at elegant, black tie occasions.  What's a down-on-her-luck girl supposed to wear on nights like this? She raids her grandmama's collection of vintage couture, of course.  Here's one of her not-so-casual Friday evening outfits.  This one, Galliano.
