Grandma’s blue dress: a photoshoot

Published by The Dreamstress

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!

Madame Ornata’s sapphire blue dress: a photoshoot

Published by The Dreamstress

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!

The Laurel dress: a photoshoot

What better way to celebrate Halloweek than getting dressed up with friends and taking lots and lots of pictures of each other in gorgeous dresses? At the end of the shoot, and after editing out tons and tons of images, I still have over 100 fabulous images of me in the laurel dress.  But I’ll restrain myself and only show you the ones that are beyond fabulous. Need more fabulosity?  Check out the entire gallery on the dress page.  Most of the photographs are by the fabulous Sarah, the rest are by Madame Ornata.
