Travelling Dress Project - Tan Embroidered Maxi
This Year a group of fellow photographers and I set out to collaborate on a creative project. We decided to start with the travelling dress and named ourselves Sisterhood of the travelling Frock. The Dress we picked is a tan embroidered Maxi from Joyfolie and travelled across the US starting with Sparks NV, Hurricane UT, Seattle Washington, Charlotte North Carolina, Randolph Massachusetts and finally Brunswick Maine.
We had an amazing time collaborating and am excited to share with you about my time with the dress.
I received the dress the day before the fourth of July and was really excited to finally have it on hand. Nothing could have prepared me for the beauty of this dress—the beautiful point d'esprit mesh overlay, the embroidery, and the remembrance of an ancient era. Naturally, I decided to use a cottage that was built in the yesteryears as the backdrop for my photographs—none other than Queset House and Queset Gardens, located in North Easton MA. The property is a historical stone house of English-Gothic style, which is named for the stream that runs through the property, sloping lawns, and a pathway to the restored Italianate Queset Garden.
My model, Veronica, was such a joy to photograph. I love that she embraced twirling and swirling in the dress and at the same time held her composure and acted aloof to fit the scene. All the while I was photographing her, I was reminded of scenes from Romeo and Juliet. The dress and details on the bricks and the Italianate garden just sent me back to the play.
I had an amazing time photographing this dress and feel so honored to be a part of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Frock! Our group consists of amazing artists and I can't wait to see how the dress inspired them.
