Due to the Covid Restrictions still in play while New Zealand battles the Delta Outbreak that started in August, the committee organising the Oamaru Victorian Heritage Celebrations decided it was best to cancel the event for this year. A crushing blow for anyone, like me, who had been using the event as the light at… Continue reading Escape From 2021

1870s Tartan Bustle Photoshoot
While I was in Oamaru last month (which you can read about here) I took advantage of the beautiful and lovely Public Gardens for a mini photoshoot for the V-neck iteration of this year’s Tartan Bustle Dress. 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
Bastille Day Masquerade 2018
Warning: picture heavy post! I got a little carried away while getting dressed for the Masquerade... (well, okay, perhaps a lot...!) I think that I had been so busy in the lead up to Bastille Day working on my dress I didn't have time to get excited about the Bastille Day Masquerade until the day… Continue reading Bastille Day Masquerade 2018
The Penguin Bodice
I don't know how creative I am when it comes to naming different outfits that I make but, this is what happens when a spur-of-the-moment nickname sticks. It should really be called something like, 'The Riding Habit Inspired Bodice' because, as long and rather dull as it sounds is the truth of it. This bodice… Continue reading The Penguin Bodice
Trimmed With Tartan Part III
I finished the bodice on Saturday and took some time out on Sunday to take some photos of the completed bodice and overskirt. I'm definitely happy with my decision to go with the white sleeves and, while I toyed with the idea of adding some tartan around the edge of the bodice, I think I'm… Continue reading Trimmed With Tartan Part III
A Mad Dash About Caccia Birch
I was really hoping to be posting about my 1890s skirt project today but, it turns out that applying and sewing about 18 metres of Russian Braid takes quite a while! Not to mention, I now have the oh-so-exciting task of hand sewing the hem facing in. So, while I can't yet write about that,… Continue reading A Mad Dash About Caccia Birch
