Lilac Headband-Sash-Choker - Take 2

Here's another take on the lilac sash/headband.

It's the same kind of flower as this one but with a different colour ribbon. A sweet mocha brown cotton ribbon that I think complements the lilac very well.

And there's the addition of a couple of my favourite tulle leaves, pristine white stiching on bridal white tulle.

New Spring Lilac Headband - Sash - Wrist Corsage - Choker

And now a new organza flower in a pretty lilac to go with my spring mood.

Just like the others before it, you can wear this as a sash around your waist, a choker around your neck, a headband or crown around your head or a wrist corsage.

The ribbon is a long 152cm or 53inches long, velvety soft but very sturdy, able to withstand lots of wear.

Freshly listed in the shop  with lots of details and photos.
