My hubby Jim and I at our 31st Annual New Mobilian's Mardi Gras Ball.  

My friend Janet Beaverstock and I were Ball Captains this year.  The gown was made by me.
The top is silver taffeta with black burnout velvet zebra stripe.  The full length skirt is black
velveteen, lined with black taffeta.  The silver flower came from a local beauty supply store.
