dress - self made
when i first saw pattern for this dress
back in march issue of burda 2009
i immediately thought that it looks
a - slightly like a 30's dress and
b - kind of sicilian
..
not that i have ever been to italy
let alone sicily,
so i don't really know what sicilian ladies wear
and still, it looked sicilian to me
and it still does, five years later
..
ideal backdrop for my sicilian dress
would be a cobblestone street
in golden hour
and yes, we do have a few of nice looking
cobblestone streets in belgrade
but morning golden hour is kind of too early in a day for me
while evening golden hour tend to be crowded in any of those streets
and i prefer doing my tripod shooting routine in private
..
so.. i took my photos at high noon
using my usual backdrop of neighbourhood ruin..
i'll totally understand if you don't get my sicilian vibe
..

such a sweet dress! this looks like the perfect dress to wear frolicking on a warm spring day. and i'm picking up on your 30's/sicilian vibe - reminds me of old movies....
ReplyDeletereminds me of old movies too.. and it's a perfect date dress.. also, i kind of feel like in a movie while i wear it, because my style is not so soft or romantic nowadays
