ABC WEDNESDAY - i is for....

... I-con

to be frank I had trouble on this one, all I could t

hink of was ICE, but l couldnt find any of my own images

 to go with it, and that IS the point right, that its our own photos!?

So l reached for my old faithful the Collins Concise tome and looked for inspiration...ah too late now!

Here is a well known and loved Icon, The Princess of Wales, 

unfortunately I cannot find the photos I have of her, 

which I took when she visited my home town of Canterbury at the  Cathedral in the early 1980's. 

However I do have this, 

an I-conic  vintage Jacques Azagury designer dress from my Vintage store, 

well it isn't anymore as I'm keeping it! 

The original was sold in the now famous auction of many of her dresses.

Ballerina length dress with black bodice  

embroidered with blue stars.  

The drop waisted skirt is a double layer of blue organza. 

Designer: Jacques Azagury

...and this is my dress

'Wonderful tonight...'

I wanted to share a little of the excitement and joy I experience with my small online business.

I have had a vintage clothing shop online since 2002, after my passion for vintage fashion went into uber-drive!

Sometimes customers send pictures and share their 'story'.

This is the story of Hayley and a stunning mid 1980's Frank Usher gown.

I had the dress in stock for sometime and was about to take it off the site to turn the stock around to keep it fresh.

The dress is a strapless column gown, in an asymmetrical style in contrasting post box red and jet black. A large sash bow to the side of one hip.

However Hayley contacted me from the United States asking about the dress and postage. She was considering it for her Senior Prom. I furnished her with the relevant information, and subsequently posted it to her stateside.

A few months ago my day was pleasantly uplifted by her email and the photographs of her all ready on the night of her school Prom 2008, at The Regency Center, San Francisco

I think you'll agree she looked,

'WONDERFUL TONIGHT!'
