Theatrical, really. Had these fine feathered headpieces custom made by Alice Hart.
Not really the type of thing you wear on casual Friday.
But definitely the type of thing you wear to the ballet.
Love how peacock feathers are the colour(s) of the ocean. Can you think of anything more beautiful?
I prefer to ask people who are actually talented with sewing machines, glue guns and millgrain lathe tools to create things for me. So this week will be all about those custom-made pieces.
Like this dress I had made out of raw silk, the world’s most beautiful fabric.
I’m actually looking for another excuse to wear it.
Where would you sport it? Grocery shopping?
And for years the man on the right has been making me smile.
Because I have his entire outfit. From the hat I bought in the men’s department of Century 21 in New York.
To the Hunter Wellies which came straight from Britain.
I am missing his cordouroy pants, but that doesn’t prevent me from feeling very Town & Country.
I do! I do!
Found this little beauty at Deluxe Junk in Vancouver and had it shortened (significantly) so I could wear it all the time (like every night in Vegas last summer).
I don’t have a before shot so picture this: a dress so long, so pleated, it would have been the favourite of a high school librarian in ’85.
