      Yes, the sinking of the MS Estonia was very tragic, I still remember it as it unfolded. Very sad. But... Silvia is dressed quite nicely. ~~Ruthie

    QS coat fits her well, room to put a heavier garment underneath without it pulling

    I remember living in Paris at the time of the tragedy, and at the time there was no internet... Many ex-pats would gather at the Swedish church to read the Swedish newspapers there. It was unimaginable, horrifying and extremely sad. RIP all victims.

  6. The black coat fits well and the brooch is a welcome addition. I love the blouse she is wearing, pussy bow, very attractive.
