Tea Party

     I mentioned a few posts back that I was working on a couple designs for a shoot.  We had the shoot two weekends ago and couldn't have asked for nicer weather.  The photos were taken by my sister, Patti.  The silk was dyed by Dee. The dresses designed and made by moi!  And last but not least, the dresses were modelled by the lovely Athenaïs.   She was such a trooper with the chilly weather.  Thank you so much to everyone involved (and to my parents who let us use their yard).  We wanted to have a French tea party theme which turned into an Alice in Wonderland based idea using the small tables and "eat me" sign.  We wanted it to look whimsical and enchanting with a fashionable twist.  i.e. the fashion books on the table and our dress design.   I even made up a cheesy little story to go with it ;)

Once upon a time...

There was a girl named Athenaïs.  She was getting bored with every day fashion so decided to venture out into the world, seeking the answers to being chic...

Macaroons from ChessPiece Cafe! Mmmm

     Dressed in her ADRARA design, she found herself in a near by forest where she stumbled upon what appeared to be a tea party.   With a sign that said 'Eat me', she could not resist taking a bite of the most delicious macaroon.   

Délicieux!!!! 

     On the corner of the tiny table was a stack of books.  Did they have the answer to her questions????  She poured herself some tea and began to read. Chanel and Dior are the epitome of chic.  Surely they have all the guidance she seeks. 

Tea Cups are Dee's Grandmothers.

Finally, the answers she was looking for!  She realized that she had them all along;  She is chic!!!  Thrilled by her discovery she decided to make her way home until she saw another sign.....

    

  She is now on her way to the land of fabulous things...stay tuned for more of her story. 



Fashionbly yours,

Adrienne:)
