Blood, Sweat, and Tears




Blood, Sweat, and Tears. That's what I call this particular sheer square.

This is one I wear. At one point there was an accident involving a clothing steamer with me ending up with three quarter size red marks on my neck. So not attractive! I had quite the collection of Veras even then, but there were only about a dozen of them I wore on a regular basis. At the time, I was wearing a lot of red, white and navy. No, it had nothing to do with patriotism, but perhaps it kept people from asking me too many post 9-11 questions when I wasn't sporting the requisite cross/flag/yellow ribbon trifecta. I call this sheer square "Blood, Sweat and Tears" because of its droplet shapes in red (blood), blue (tears), white all over (sweat).


Sheer white back ground with red and blue tear drop shapes across. Navy hand rolled hem. Vera signed in navy, no ladybug. 18" squared. No tag, feels like silk chiffon.
