Like many girls I have always loved dressing up. As a child I spent many happy hours in theatre dressing rooms gazing at the beautiful costumes that all played their part in a story. Dresses and stories have been synonymous for me ever since. It is so easy nowadays to see clothing as something that is easily replaced and forgotten to make way for the new, however everything we have worn has been part of our life stories in some way, clothing us as it would a character in a novel or play. Woven into the fabric becomes memories, places, people... How wonderful it would be if we could know the history of all those vintage and second hand things we buy... I have dresses that I must sell but I don't want to lose the memory that each one holds. Here is my personal space to recall each ones story as I say goodbye...

The Bestival Peacock

 

The dress up theme was Wildlife. I had a last minute opportunity to go to Bestival so I bought this ASOS dress to go with a peacock feather hair creation and peacock print necklace. Not as much effort as most but cute all the same. This dress had a fab night, dancing (a lot) losing its friends, riding festival taxis, wandering and falling asleep in magical gardens and finally sleep walking me home. Back home in reality I decided it was probably a little short for me, besides I'd bent all of my peacock feathers...
