Nora Corbett's "The Rose of Sharon" cross-stitch design has become an enduring favorite among Mirabilia design collectors. Nora's newest masterpie ce, called "Rose Arbour," is a mirror image of the earlier design, reflecting another beautiful woman beneath an arch entwined with full-blown roses. We think the appeal of both designs lies in the exquisite gowns--the elegant lines, the lavish details and the romantic sense of style. We also think, "Why doesn't anyone make dresses like these anymore?"
