Seriously, how gorgeous is she? I can’t decide if I like her better in black and white, or colour, but I know that I want to try her in 1910s and 1940s fashions. She’ll look amazing! I only wish she and the gorgeous Miss Claire had been able to stick around for more of the photoshoot!
This dress belonged to my grandmother. It’s made of an interesting early synthetic fabric, and has a matching bolero jacket that I rarely wear. I love the dress though. It fits me perfectly, and it’s such a stunning colour. I can’t quite figure out the date – it’s such a classic cut. Anyone want to make a guess? That hat was also Grandma’s: I own a dozen or so of her hats. And the rest of the photos: The photography was done by Sarah and Madame Ornata, but alas, there was a great deal of handing-around of cameras, and I can’t recall who took what photo in every case! They are both excellent photographers though!
Along with me in the Laurel dress, we got photos of Madame Ornata in her sapphire blue dress at last weekend’s photoshoot. Madame Ornata looked amazing, and was so fun to photograph: slinking along in her dress and doing something adorable every two shots (the ‘outtakes’ for our photoshoot are hilarious!). I’ve culled and culled and culled, and used supreme willpower and gotten the hundred fabulous photos down to under twenty of my absolute favourites. Enjoy! Photography by me and Sarah Based on these photoshoots, I’ve decided that every woman should have at least two photoshoots of herself in a glamorous dress a year. With everyone owning a digital camera, it’s super easy, and it’s great fun, and great for your self esteem. So go out, oh readers of the world, and instead of scheduling a girls night out, schedule a pretty picture taking session for yourself!
