Great Gatsby Fashion Inspirations; Part 2

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!

50s Fair at Wahroonga

I had a lovely browse around the Rose Seilder Historic House on Sunday. Every year 1000's of people descend on (and to) the property to admire the Harry Seilder architecture, but more so for the fabulous array of 1950's stalls scattered around the bushy grounds. Loved looking at all the vintage clothes, bric a brac, furniture and cars. The cars were outstanding! There was even an outdoor barber-shop; 2 chairs busy with customers. I decided to dress for the occassion and donned a gray shot silk 50's dress, with black full net petti peeping out. Upswept hair, resin necklace. I blended into the look of the day, fun!
I'm looking into having a stall there next year (usually we are skiing!) as I do really well at The Vintage Fair twice a year at Canterbury Race Course. More on that later!
