Thank you for your lovely comments on my knit evening dress.
Here I am on the night with the gloriously glamourous and wonderfully gracious Catriona Rowntree, the MC for the event.
Catriona was wearing a dress by a local Australian designer, Rachel Gilbert. She was stunning.
Thanks to the Hon. Senator Sean Edwards for the iPhone snaps. He understood my need to have a photo of Catriona’s dress and made it happen!
We were away for the weekend at Pt Willunga a few days later. I could have taken my evening wear out of the suitcase before I put my swimwear in… but I did hope that a beach photo shoot could be possible..
He who Cooks graciously agreed.
The godet at the back.
It was very windy, and very bright. Windswept hair and sunglasses was the only way to accessorize.
Unless I needed a wrap..
The organza wrap was the perfect colour for this dress. Thanks Jann!
He Cooks... She Sews! 
Lovely dresses, lovely people. The way the light at the beach really shows the color of your fabric is gorgeous!
Thanks. Early morning light is magical.
Beautiful dress, Elle!
Gorgeous!
It’s lovely and definitely looks as good as Catriona’s!
You are too kind. Hers was stunning and structured with hours of detailed sewing in it by experts, mine is an easy knit dress by a hobby sewist. No comparison really!
Haha, maybe it is just in the close up detail then……on the photos you looked as good!
Lovely and how nice to meet Catriona.
Great fashion shoot – very Burda-esque wearing a gown on the beach! – does show it off nicely though! Thanks for passing on the nomination, I really enjoyed reading both yours and Catherines so I hope to be able to do it, unfortunately Google have disabled my account so I can’t blog or email at the moment or comment on some blogs. Don’t know what has happened but I hope they can sort it out soon!!
[…] I’ve made a top I can wear everyday if I choose to, not something that only get out of the wardrobe once a year for an art gallery exhibition opening or a black tie event. […]
