Miss Havisham

Hi Guys!
This is a photo I entered for a vintage fashion photo shoot contest by Still The Lovely.  I just found out about this contest and its based on # likes so I'm trying my best anyways :) Read on for my inspiration and how to vote...

I'm wearing an Edwardian tea gown that has been in my family. My mother actually wore it when she got married. I was inspired by the decaying look of this house facade down the street from me in Savannah and I wanted to combine it with something ethereal and white. Sort of a Miss Havisham inspiration if you will! The hat is thrifted and I pinned ivory hydrangeas on it that I already had as part of a floral arrangement.


Photo by my husband- Dylan Wilson :)

To vote for me- click HERE to go to my entry on the contest page-  and just click LIKE. And check out the other vintage fashion photo entries while you're there!

I'll share more photos from this shoot with you guys later!
