Yesterday was photo day – and we had one takeaway point for the day: The shoreline is very cold in November.
The weather man was a big fat liar – because it was supposed to be in the 60’s! Instead it was 55 and very windy (our fault, for choosing a mansion by the coast for our shoot.) But luckily one of my brand new items to debut in this photo shoot was this cloak.
I love the look of a long flowing medieval cloak, it’s just so elegant and beautiful.
But I also love Victorian style capelets, I mean… BOW!
What’s not to love about that level of cuteness? I came up with this design to try and combine the two. I make a ton of high-low skirts, so I thought, I bet I could develop a high low cloak pattern! I’m super pleased with the result.
It was very difficult to choose a favorite from this shoot – because so many of them were so good! But here’s one of my favorites:
These next pictures show off the gown she was wearing. It’s a design very similar to Victorian Vixen – but in white, and I crafted a bustle skirt in satin to match.
The below photo I kept zoomed out because of the pretty setting, and I love how her pose makes it look like she’s dancing. Photos were taken at UCONN’s Avery Point campus. There’s a gorgeous mansion out there – and no one seems to mind two weirdly dressed girls coming to the grounds to snap photos of eachother!
