Yum! I agree totally--LOVE me a pearl cossy! :)

The costume was so simple, but really effective. The faces the groom was making had me laughing til I cried though. Azza is a beautiful dancer, so graceful. Thanks for posting! :-)

Love the dancing and the costume!

I couldn't walk down those stairs in those shoes - and she danced down!! wow

somewhere in the middle she must have kicked the shoes off because she's barefoot by the end.

I want a pearl cossie so bad. so pretty and elegant.

I want to make a pearl costume so bad! It is definitely on my list of things to do.

i love pearl costumes too! (this thread has inspired me to work on my pearl fixer upper project)
think this is the same bra/belt with different skirt/sleeves. still gorgeous, totally different look. nice to see even the legends do the skirt switcharoo to extend the wardrobe ;)

I actually scored a TON of pearls from ebay years ago that I've never used (think 2 full boot shoeboxes worth of pearls). I've got little itty bitty ones all the way to huge ginormous ones....

I'm gonna have to try doing something with them soon... :)

I recently found out that pearls symbolize virginity and that's why the brides wear them.

Yup, it does look like the same bra/belt ... The bra & large pearls are quite distinctive and very pretty.

Love the costume .... but the groom is hysterically funny!!!! What happens at the end? Is there more to the video? Does the bride refuse to marry? Looks like there is an intervention of some kind, LOL!

ah, the beauty in simplicity! i really need a pearl cossie now...

The facial expressions wonderfully over acted. Loved the costume and simplicity of her dance. Thank-you for posting it.
