For a man, the major component is a coat, known as a dinner jacket (British) or tuxedo (Canada and the U.S.), which is usually black but is also seen in midnight blue, and includes a homburg hat, a butonniere and handkerchief. A woman's corresponding evening dress ranges from a conservative cocktail dress to the long evening gown, determined by current fashion, local custom, and the occasion's time, accompanied by pearls, or gold jewelry.<br /><br />I have included such wonderful items in this kit to commemorate the wonderful events associated with dances, Valentine's Day dinners, retirement dinners, birthdays, anniversaries, or any other event worthy of elegance and distinguished formality.</span></span></p>

I was thinking of peach cobbler and a glass of milk or even vanilla ice cream when I created this kit full of hand-drawn and hand colored elements reminiscent of summer fruit, Thanksgiving desert, or pretty much any other time of year. The color palette of this kit is one of my all time favorites, warm, calming, and full of elegance, but kind of urban and retro at the same time.</span></span></p>

Love Outside The Lines! There are so many &ldquo;traditional&rdquo; kits out there, but this is a beautiful kit designed for people who&rsquo;s lives were not considered &ldquo;traditional.&rdquo; A kit for people who&rsquo;s children might have 2 Mommies or 2 Daddies. For couples who love one another deeply but are of the same sex. I&rsquo;ve never seen a kit that makes allowances for gay couples. Or gay children. Or gay families. While this kit was conceived with gay families in mind, the theme of this kit is LOVE and simply being who you are. Its perfect for any type of LO!</p>
