HISTORY IN THE MAKING where did the dress go ... Sammy Singh, provides the perfect example of using an exquisite piece of our vintage collection and making it your own. Creating a modern and infinitely unique look emulating lifestyle and events. Her exquisite frame required removal of the sleeves and altering the length for a more flattering hemline and providing the illusion of height. Finishing touches were made with the addition of the perfectly suited footwear, cane handbag and an exceptional millinery creation by designer Claire Hahn - utilising the band removed from hem. Sammy crafted a perfect picture for her entry to the Australian Fashions in the Field competition (2021).
