I am at heart a person who loves pattern, floral the most and colour, I don't really do dark or murky I much prefer bright and lively.
When I saw this fabric used in an outfit I just adored it so much but unfortunately I missed out on buying the clothes, then it appeared again and again I missed the boat until finally I managed to get bag one off of Shelly's. Then last week another appeared in a slightly different colourway which was gorgeous! Again I missed the boat but then had another chance so leap at it!.
So who would be best to wear this gorgeous longed for item? Then I remembered that poor Martha was still wearing clothes from the beginning of the year! beautiful clothes it's true but still she'd been neglected for too long!
So Friday I changed Martha into this stunning dress and we went into the garden for a photo shoot.
Here are the results.
We used one of the covered garden benches.

Made the very talented Frances Trickett this full length summer dress is to me gorgeous.
I love the beautiful colours and flowers.
For those who don't know, Martha was my holy grail Sasha. Never wanted any other Sasha as much as I wanted a full blue eyed red haired No Navel Sasha. Never thought I find one as back then they were much harder to find and if you did see them they were always snapped up before I got there!
Wonderful wild flowers in blues, yellows, pinks , lilacs perfection in a fabric.

The wind appeared to move Martha's hair just as I took this shot !

Well I hope you have enjoyed seeing these photos of Martha in this new favourite dress.
Just a reminder that it will soon be the 1st August!! and so time to start sending in your shelf photos for the coming month, I'm off to take a few myself.
Then I must go see what Lucas is up to at the end of the garden!

I too love this material...which is actually better shown on the close-up photos. I have always adored our wild flowers and love to see colourful fields of them, especially when they are slightly moving in a gentle breeze.
ReplyDeleteGinny's hair looks really beautiful in her close up facial photos, so clean and fresh.
I've never been a fan of these Frido/Trendon/Gotz original sandals as such but have to admit that they are perfect with this length of dress.
Always look forward to the results of your Fridays or days off work. Thanks.
It is just beautiful and the close up photos go some way to showing just how much it is.
DeleteMartha's hair is wonderful and looks just perfect, she is a joy to photograph.
The sandals were the only one's to hand that would suit when I dressed her and do fit quite well with her dress.
I have a nice long weekend and a chance to recharge my batteries :)
I usually like dresses on Sasha a little shorter, but this one is smashing.
ReplyDeleteThe shots of Martha's hair playing in the wind are so beautiful.
Same here but every so often a long dress comes up that just looks so right! I was very lucky that the wind arrived to help make a great photo :)
DeleteMartha is a holy grail Sasha.....she is so beautiful and especially so in her new dress. I, too, love this fabric and thanks for showing a close up of it which really shows how fantastic it is! :) xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Ginger. She is truly a stunner. That fabric is just gorgeous, you'd love it :)xxx
DeleteWhat pretty fabric, it looks like Ainsley china, such a pretty pattern.
ReplyDeleteAnd doesn't it look gorgeous on Martha!
I'm glad you were able to find this lovely dress for her!
