When I was learning how to sew, Mother Melbourne taught me that as long as you have beautiful fabric, you don’t need elaborate pattern making techniques. The fabric will speak for itself.
In terms of a maxi dress, the idea absolutely applies wouldn’t you agree? Look at Camilla, she’s built an empire of basically making kaftans (two pieces of fabric sewn together at the sides with armholes) in printed and embellished silks.
This is the turquoise version of the ‘Oceana’ dress by St Frock. It’s a simple design but the detail around the collar and the colour are really what makes the dress. I don’t mind shooting things like this in an urban environment, but you could just imagine it on a white sandy beach couldn’t you?
Simple, easy and beautiful.
What I’m wearing:
Dress: St Frock
Earrings: ‘Phoukham’ earrings from Wilderness Bazaar
Rings: Various from my travels all over the world
Sandals: India
