 These were my grandmothers slips. I kept them. I thought they were pretty and it's hard to find a pretty slip nowadays. All my memories of her are lilac hued. It was her favorite color.

Lilac-hued memories. Such a beautiful sentiment: the figurative fondly masquerading as the literal. It's beautiful. So is the photograph. Thank you.

the implied star works well with the square frame. the star isn't real of course. the shape is imaginary, evoked by where fabric overlaps and blocks light, and it's also incomplete, cut off by the square ... except it's not cut off by the square. there is no rest of the star, we only imagine a rest of the star because it's cut off. this is how ghosts work, and the mind, and politics, and everything else.

When lilacs last in the dooryard bloomed, or a slip of the gossamer tongue.

Hah! Try and find a slip, let alone a pretty one. Last time I shopped for one, the girl at Nordstrom's didn't even know what one was.

Nice placement of fabric in the frame and good use of back lighting. The faintly lilac tone is good too.

Lovely colors and choices in depth of field - sensuous and diaphanous.

My first thoughts were 'Mantillas' then I read your comments and was very (very) wrong. Your focus (and lack of it) is excellent here.
