HISTORY IN THE MAKING where did the dress go ... Sasha Garner, (pictured) provides the perfect example of using an exquisite piece of our vintage collection and making it your own. Creating a modern unique look to embody your lifestyle and events. Her colouring and frame were the prefect match for this fitted bodice and yet flowing style. The balloon sleeve draws a balance and feature to her look. Finishing touches were made drawing out the unique to vintage colour pairing of pink and forest green. Sasha's closely matched footwear, handbag and delicate floral headpiece creation by designer Claire Hahn Millinery produce a sublime effort. Sasha used the best assets of the vintage piece to accentuate the wearer. An exceptional entry for the Hawkes Bay Racing, Caroline Meo Bayleys, Fashion in the Field competition (October 2021).
