Everyone knows that I love my stripes. As well as my Sage Stripe Dress, I made a second striped dress in 2023. In an oxblood and white striped cotton shirting. I got some photos of it during the 2023 Oamaru Victorian Heritage Celebrations, including some photos at Holmes Wharf while it was raining (I know,… Continue reading Peppermint Dress Photos

Sage Stripe Photos
In 2023, as well as my Dressmaker's Dress, I made a sage and white striped natural form dress. I found a cotton lawn that was a pretty close green to the stripes in the cotton shirting and decided to play with adding some solid to the stripe. I also made 3 different bodices - a… Continue reading Sage Stripe Photos
The Dressmaker’s Dress Photos
In 2023 I made a natural form dress out of a blue and dark blue gingham cotton fabric. I ended up calling it my Dressmaker's Dress as I added a sewing chatelaine to it for the Victorian Fashion Show I organised and presented for the Oamaru Victorian Heritage Celebrations. I had added a working class/occupational… Continue reading The Dressmaker’s Dress Photos
1870s Tartan Bustle Dress Photos
I took some photos of my 1870s Tartan Bustle Dress in 2021 when I was in Oamaru for the Unofficial Victorian Celebrations (the real Oamaru Victorian Heritage Celebrations had been cancelled due to the uncertainty around Covid restrictions). I got some better photos during the 2022 Oamaru Victorian Heritage Celebrations so I thought that I'd… Continue reading 1870s Tartan Bustle Dress Photos
Cherryblossom Dress Photos
I made the Cherryblossom Dress in 2022 and never posted photos of me wearing it. So it makes sense to revisit this dress first as I work on reviving the blog. I got some photos of it during the Oamaru Victorian Heritage Celebrations in 2022 (and I have a post about that year's celebrations coming… Continue reading Cherryblossom Dress Photos

Here is a selection of the photographs 📸 It was so lovely to be able to dress up… Continue reading 1870s Tartan Bustle Photoshoot
Blueberry Dress Photoshoot: Ball Dress Edition
Continuing on with my photoshoot at Clachanburn Gardens posts, I now bring you some of the photos of the Ball Dress variation. Unfortunately we were starting to lose the light so didn't end up with as many as I would have liked (I never seem to get many photos of my ball dresses...) Regardless, here… Continue reading Blueberry Dress Photoshoot: Ball Dress Edition
Blueberry Dress Photoshoot: Afternoon Edition
Following on from my previous post showcasing some of the photos of my Day Dress at Clachanburn Gardens, here are some photos of the Afternoon version... Stay tuned for the Ball Version coming soon 💃🏻
Blueberry Dress Photoshoot: Day Edition
A year ago I visited Clachanburn Gardens to photograph my Blueberry Dress and, for some reason, I never actually posted the photos here on my blog. I know, slack, right? Well, it's time to remedy that and share them with you now. Better late than never, after all 😉 Clachanburn Gardens are in the Maniototo,… Continue reading Blueberry Dress Photoshoot: Day Edition
Christmas Tree Photoshoot
When I realised that the Pretty Princess Dress was going to match my parents' Christmas tree this year I joked to a friend that I could dress up and take photos with it. As soon as the joke was made, however, my brain started whirring with thoughts at the possibility of actually doing it. So,… Continue reading Christmas Tree Photoshoot
