Part 2 of the photoshoot from THIS post. This was actually my 21st birthday dress a few years back when I decided to have the princess tea party of my childhood dreams as a last hurrah before I am supposed to be a mature adult. Most people might have chosen a night out drinking but I couldn't think of a better way to spend my last day as an adult than eating pink rosette cupcakes, drinking tea and milk out of vintage painted china we found at an estate sale, and dressed in 1950's gear to go to cheesecake factory (my restaurant of choice for every birthday celebration since my 19th).
The making of this dress was quite the story since I conversed with a dressmaker (found via etsy) located in Greece over the period of 2 months, trading sketches and photos of the dress, choosing swatches of lace and satin...so fun. I truly felt like a princess thanks to her!! Imagine trying to ship this dress and the petticoat all the way across from the ocean...
PS. An outfit post will be coming later today so watch out for that! ;)
