i had the opportunity to contribute to a fundraiser held this weekend with proceeds benefiting arts umbrella, and vgh + ubc hospital foundation.
so i made this very special dress for the occasion.

the classic art nouveau print is liberty of london's 'ianthe' in a fresh colourway of coral and turquoise. the fabric is silk crepe de chine [lined in silk] and drapes b e a u t i f u l l y.
hadley snuck in some twirls before it was delivered.
our favourite dress ever.
at the museum of vancouver and hosted by vancouver mom.
it was a fabulous night - we met some great women, drank wine and viewed ivan sayer's incredible art deco dress collection.
"art deco chic" is on exhibit until september 23, 2012.

Beautiful dress! I would twirl in it too....
The last photo shows my two favs from the exhibit - so elegant.
I love the dress, I'll bet it was hard for Hadley to part with it!
thank you both! i will be making one for hadley, for sure :)
I remember seeing Ivan Sayers' collection at the Vancouver Museum in the early '90's! I need to go back for sure.
