This weekend was a friend’s birthday and in keeping with our various dramatic passions, he decided upon having a 1950’s Australian suburban picnic theme! So we packed the basket, frocked up and headed out for cake, caviar and champagne! Given, they weren’t really vintage style refreshments, but I think I needed caviar more than deviled eggs that day!
Outfit details
Cherry print dress – vintage find from Ruby Red Dress in Prahan
Apron – hand made by Nana
Petticoat – Ebay Shoes – Rodhe wedges
Watch – Citizen circa 1990 Hair Bow – Thick doubled satin fabric sewn into scarf and tied as a bow.
Fun times!

Love the dress and apron combo and those photo’s look perfectly vintage (well except that they are colour).
Picnics are so nice in summer
I agree, completely adorable! I love when you do cute-housewife 50s looks (as opposed to glamorous vixen, which is fabulous too), I’m sure you made everyone you passed smile!
What a gorgeous dress!
Gorgeous! You look like Snow White
I love your look. That dress is simply gorgeous. Can I be really rude and ask how much you paid for it? x
Emma: Sure – I don’t mind. I found the dress for $65, which was an excellent price for vintage in such exceptional condition.
Oh gosh that dress is just too cute! Love the way it fits on you and I love your hair too
You look gorgeous, just like you stepped out of some fairy tale. Love the dress, the bow.. well everything.
Oh… you should have been at Coolart Jazz Fest; we had a whole marqee of fifties’ fabulous, complete with swing dancing!
Great outfit, all you need is a tartan picnic rug!
Floraposte: Yeah, can you believe we forgot the rug?! Luckily, the ants were absent that evening.
Andrea: Actually I have been thinking about making a dress from curtains this week…I see a theme devloping here.
Ellie: That sounds lovely. It was a huge family day for me, topped off b the evening picnic, but next time?
You look amazing! Now I’m inspired to go on a picnic myself…
You look stunning in that dress, they are such pretty colours together.
It looks like such a fun birthday party!
Hey Snow White!
That is one cool dress

I love this tableau! (Or is that table cloth?)
Great dress.
