So I have no idea what the dress has to do with the photoshoot locations. Inexplicably he decided to head to our favourite beach, rather than simply walking around our neighborhood, which was my choice (and which would have taken half the time). Mr D was quite grumpy that I insisted on a pre-dinner shoot, so I let him choose the location. For now though, I did a simple -pre-dinner photoshoot in Wellington. I’ll be wearing it next weekend at Napier’s Art Deco weekend, along with a matching cloche. Then I added the collar and bow and belt, and suddenly it all came together, and I’m in love! I was extremely dubious about this dress as I sewed it up: it just looked like an almost-flesh-coloured sack. The fabrics I know of were probably intended for children’s wear, but finding such a perfect Bambi fabric was too good to pass up on for a 1929 dress.
The English-language edition of ‘ Bambi, A Life in the Woods‘ was published in 1928 (the movie did not come out until ’42), and was an instant hit, inspiring a whole plethora of fawn themed designs. So for a while not much happened with the fabric except Felicity lying on it:īut this weekend I hauled myself out of bed, and, with the help of a box of tissues, I alternated an hour on The Project and an hour on my dress, and got it done late on Sunday.Īs you can tell, the fabric is indeed pink, and features darling fawns with bows around their necks scattered across it. And in the meantime I’ve got a trip away to Napier’s Art Deco weekend, and a trip away to Auckland on the weekend of the 2nd of March. And at the same time I’ve got a massive, top-secret, super-exciting project to work on: the biggest project I’ve ever had. Things got held up by a nasty attack of hayfever, which turned into a nasty cold. Whew! A day late, but my dress for the HSF ‘Pink’ challenge is done!
