Original photo by DianeS

Not sure if you'd want to crop the dress, but...

Crop, Curves to brighten mid tones, Gaussian Blur 5.5 pixels (more on larger image probably), Fade Gaussian Blur -hard light 100%, Curves - “reverse” s-curve, Dodge shadow-side of face and hair, Vignette (new layer, fill with black, mask with radial gradient black to white), levels layer to restore contrast after vignette, flatten layers, duplicate layer, Unsharp Mask (65,1,0), mask out background, hue/sat layer to increase saturation and tweak reds (couldn't go far on a small image due to serious artifacting).

Despite the long explanation, just a five minute edit. I'd go further, but the grain is really starting to show around her face.
