Hey!
On Friday I needed to do some final preparations for the 20th Annual Russian Summer Ball which took place on Saturday. I went to Angel straight after my photoshoot that day to have my dress altered...but I ended up doing shopping too! ;) oops.
Here are some of the treasures I found...
This is a floor length pink dress by Hawaiian Fashion Father, Alfred Shaheen. The colour was so warm, feminine et perfect for summer days, the quality of the print et fabric was beautiful. I love the pleating et cuffs of this dress, there's something so dreamy about it.
I love the psychedelic floral pattern of this piece, the neckline is very flattering with a cute ruffled edge. But the best thing about it is the deceiving fact that it's actually a culotte jumpsuit!
This is from the 1960's et in amazing condition, I'd never seen anything quite like it before, so I just had to buy it!
...Now this was my favourite dress...if a dress is what you may call it!
As I was in Angel to have my ball gown fitted, I was on the lookout for any Vintage gowns just in case ;) Here is one that caught my eye because of the colour, which just so happened to be my favourite colour, pink.
Beautiful sequin detail on the cuffs et neckline.
This pastel pink dress was made of silk chiffon, it had layers of silk to it, with an attached floor length waistcoat made in the same fabric, very true to its 1960's design.

| I really did love this one but unfortunately it was a little too big for me. |
This blue number was also made from silk, with silver sequin detail. I love the neckline of this piece et the tube shape. As there was lots of dancing to be had at the Russian Ball, I didn't feel the shape of the dress was sensible...not much freedom to move my legs!
Another Hawaiian inspired design from the 1960's, I love the colour of this piece. My favourite part is the trail at the back of this dress, this added something special to the design, making it unique to everything else.
Alongside the Culotte Jumpsuit, this yellow silk dress was my favorite. Floor length, billowy sleeves, soft silk chiffon fabric...it has it all!
Silk is my favorite fabric to wear, it keeps me cool on summer days et warm in the chill air evening.
The movement of this dress was very beautiful, I tried to capture it!
I tried this dress on, although it is very unlike anything else in my wardrobe haha:D
I saw it on the hanger et as tacky et fabulously ridiculous as it looked, I had a feeling that it may be one of those dresses that completely changes when on the body.
The shape of the dress et exposed neckline was very slimming et sexy, the metallic gold fabric was the icing on the cake. It's such a shame it was too big for me...this would have been my next overly fabulous party dress for sure.
If you're ever in the area this place et the lovely owner, Jackie, are a must to visit, you'll find them within the Camden passage, you can't miss it really, as soon as you see hundreds of Vintage dresses hung about et on rails you've arrived!
Ciao! xx.
