Yay or Nay? Lady Susan Fox-Strangways

Frizzy hair aside, Mrs Juel won us over with her sunny gown which got a very happy Yay from the panel.  This week we will travel to England for our selection.  A non-frizzy hair selection.


Allan Ramsay paints Lady Susan (1761) in frilly white gown with a delft-blue stomacher.  Yay or Nay?

  1. Not sure what's going on with the fuzzy boa-necklace, but overall I liked the reserved nature of the piece. Yay.

  2. I'm not crazy about that trim around her neck either, but the rest of the dress is beautiful, So is the painting itself. Yay!

  6. Mmmmmm, white froth and lace. Love it. Not too crazy about the blue fuzzy thing crawling up and around her neck though. Still, I give it a Yay!

  7. Yay! That is a wonderful dress, why don't they make those kinds of dresses nowadays anymore? :(

  8. She looks like she's dressed for her own happy hanging!

    Love, love the dress, but the noose has to go. So I don't know whether to say Yay to the dress or Nay to the...whatever that is.

  9. I'm going to give it a yay over all. The stuff around her neck confuses me though.

  10. LOVE the colour combo! I agree with what the others are saying though, the noose necklace thing was a VERY bad idea. Apart from that, a complete and total YAY!!!

  13. The sleeve ruffles and that hideous blue THING around her neck are just awful! It's a nay for me.

  14. Yay for an overall impression of loveliness, Nay for having really icky details when you look at it closely. Call it a Yay, but barely!
