Continuing my theme of "Gatsby" as I have some lovely pieces that would easily pass into that Scott Fitzgerald era. Dont forget the "Flapper" parties and 1920's celebrations all through Feb in the Blue Mountains! A must visit!!
Above & below; hundreds of beads, handsewn onto this palest of green silk shell-top.
Below; a double layer of silk, handbeaded cami,which is bias-cut, and has spaghetti straps.
Now this evening dress by Moss & Spy is just devine. Thousands of beads sewn onto ivory silk.
Just 3 little pearl buttons at the back, bugle beads trim the straps and yoke
Sheer divineness! I just love this dress. I can see Mia Farrow in it! (from the 70's Gatsby movie)
Cocktail length slipper-satin halter-neck dress
Close up of the handi-work in the bodice.
How cute is this hand crochered top? In buttercup yellow. Could be worn with a fine silky knit underneath?
I have a pink version of this slip as well; can be worn as a slip or a day dress.
Stunning bias-cut slipper-satin evening dress, with dropped cowl neck
Plunging back! No bras here girls!
Summer has finally arrived in Sydney, welcoming in 2012. Hooray! So I've started unpacking my "high summer" stock to sell at the markets, but as I've pulled each piece out, I thought how pretty they were, and how evocative of the "Gatsby era" they appeared to be.
