Sudeley Castle - a romantic setting for a 1930's summer outfit

1930's outfit at Sudeley Castle








The last in the series of outfits worn during those few days spent with my friend is one (finally) fully vintage. 30's dress and bag, 40's Gold Cross Lastex shoes, Soviet amber cherry brooch, and shapeless straw hat of dubious origin (same as here).
We went to Winchcombe and Sudeley Castle for the afternoon where we faced the disappointment of not being able to find all of the 9 extensive gardens they advertise. Still, that wall was worth it. Shame I wasn't inspired enough to make more of it (and the entrance price) photos wise. But hey, some of us are made to live our lives in regret, and that's just that.

  6. Thank you! I don't usually go for anything this pale, but summer wouldn't summer be without any possibilities of lighter choices in one's wardrobe. So to keep it light I left it simple with the risk of being a bit wishy-washy, but I think it works in a sort of understated chic way. I like the lack of fussiness of the style, and the fabric detail is lovely.
    The funny thing when I look at the pics is that, although I feel very feminine when wearing this, the photo impression is very childish...Perhaps is the silly hat, I don't know.
