The darling and lovely Sandra of The Witchery Vintage was kind enough to gift me a fabulous dress for my up and coming birthday. I had been eyeballing this dress for some time, but when money got tight, I took it off reserve and gave up the hope of owning such a beautiful piece. I was amazingly surprised when I got her message that she would in fact be posting it to me!
Sandra has been a fairly long term sponsor of this here blog, and so I would just like to give her a huge shout out. If you haven't stopped in on the The Witchery Vintage lately you need to peruse, as she has gotten some fabulous 50's frocks in lately.
I promised Sandra I would snap some shots of the dress in action, so I spent a few days thinking up a plan and enlisted Toma to do my shooting. My plan was shot all to pieces when the camera battery died. Then our back up analog plan fell apart when we left the film at home. So the location changed a few times and its not my initial vision, but I share with you.... My trip to the market / walking across bridges / dangerous wall climbing: A Photographic Montage.

A Witchy Woman
(All photos taken by Toma Amendolara)
The dress is simple white cotton with black flowers all over it. Rhinestones are the bodice, and the cap sleeves hang just off the shoulders. I think I have found my new "go-to" dress for summer. Thank you Sandra!!!

Love the off-the-shoulder neckline and swingy skirt of this dress!
Fun montage too, the shots of you in the heels on the concrete wall are rather scary though, how high up was it?
