Follies and Chorus Girls!

I find these images so glamourous and entrancing! 
Can you imagine the spectacle of the Folies Bergère in Paris in the 1920's or the Ziegfeld Follies in America? 

When I come across vintage photos of follies and chorus girls I'm blown away by the lavish costumes and intricate detailing. My desire to time travel increases ten fold as I dream of visiting such a heady show from by-gone times.

I'd like to start my trip in Paris about 1924 and work my way to Vegas in the 1960's!!!
I expect I'll be waiting quite a while for the time travel thing to happen and once it does I'll be too busy saving the world to do anything as indulgent as attend a few shows. So I'll just have to make do with these glorious photos!!!

Oh, and I'd just like to point out that all of these costumes would have been handmade... Who made them? How long did it take? How many sparkles did they have to attach??? Whoever you were, I salute your mammoth task in creating such beautiful stage attire.

Pearl and Crystal - The Perfect Pairing!






I know what you're thinking... these photos are adorable right?
Mary came to us looking for a headpiece that would compliment her lace wedding dress and add a little bit of sparkle to her big day.
We were delighted to customise one of our large crystal headpieces with the addition of pearl beading. The pearl accents coordinated beautifully with the ivory tones in her lace dress.
Congrats to Mary and her new hubby!
