fifty-year-old flower girls

These ladies were truly in their prime back in the 1960s. Look at how shiny they are! 

I have a vague tactile memory of this type of plasticky, crinkly ribbon, that's bright and shiny in a way that only spun polyester fiber can be. I don't even know if it's made anymore, but I imagine that a modern-day wired satin ribbon would give a similar effect.

Want painfully-detailed directions? Of course, who doesn't? 

Enjoy, my flouncy friends! xo
