The dress above was the centrepiece for the previous window, it became very popular immediately! Wth lots of attention it was clear that it wasn't going to stay there for long. Delores would soon be standing there in the nudy!
I decided after a good few weeks to take it down and therefore change the window , the dress is now going through a list of hopeful ladies, desperate to be whisked away and worn at some delightful event. Delores now needed a new frock, and I just the perfect one in mind, an equally gorgeous dress, just a little less extravagant. A genuine 1930s piece.
To shade her from the sun, a sweet 1940s straw hat topped with a hand made felt flowers pinned to it. A cute little set of pearls and a sweet pink necklace drop from her neck. I thought it would be nice to pin her dress up at one side, I imagine the dress to have be worn at a beautiful summer picnic, light and free enough to frolic in.
I then embellished the window with gorgeousness. Finding bundles of girly things is never a problem in our shop, its just a case of knowing what works. With the netting flowers from the Alice window, I wanted to give the sense that Delores was enjoying herself on a chic picnic outing.
Adding pieces to engorge the picnic factor was definately a fun and interesting challenge, I thought it would be great to use the ornate tea cups we were given and fill them with luring treats, use a lot of pretty colours and flowers to add to the environment and decorate the window with vintage fans that would be a must on a hot summers afternoon. Plenty of vintage sunglasses and a lovely pair of croched gloves fall nicely on the other bits and pieces that make up the window.
