Day to day I am ashamed to say that I’m not very glamorous. I’m more at home wearing slacks, tweeds and woollens. I have no interesting social life that calls for the wearing of such finery like ball gowns, scrummy velvets, and swirly crepe de chines, so yesterday I played dress up in some of my dressier clothes that have never (as of yet!) had an outing (boo-hoo) and to take some snaps. You lovely people will probably be the only ones ever to see me in my ball gown!
So here are some of my outfits- oh and photos that divulge a shameful amount of posing!
I also must ask you to excuse my rotten photography….I was in no way going to get someone else to take the photos of yours truly as I wouldn’t of been able to of kept a straight face, so I have made use of the self timer.
And the first outfit is…….
A 1940's velvet dress in a true cadburys purple with diamante detail around the neck, with fab draped pockets and ruching just under the waist line- all of which you can't see in this photo! Also why does my waist look soo high up? Must be the angle, I guess. Also must find a different belt soon as I can see this being a Christmas day dress...... ahhhh, Christmas! Oh, and nearly forgot the shoes- again 1940's, peep toes with an abundance of sparkles.
Secondly...
A 1940's navy heavy crepe 3/4 sleeve dress with pretty white embroidery with diddy beads around the sweetheart neckline and sleeves, with a half belted back and ruching up the bodice.
And to end...
A 1940's? Ball gown in a Peacock blue/ green brocade with a peacock feather detail. As you can see it's a tad too big! I felt very unlike myself in the picture on the right! As you can see- it's not a dress you can wonder up town in!
