This year was my first year at the L'Ormarins Queens Plate and I was lucky enough to do an outside broadcast from the actual event. So first things first, what was I going to wear??? I had not prepared at all, I couldn't just wear something average, I was going to interview two of my favorite designers!!! So after searching high and low with no success, the night before the actual event I decided with only a few precious hours left to make myself a dress - I know lunacy! I started at 5pm and by 9pm realized I had created a beautiful bodice - for a Bride!!!! I unpicked all the delicately hand stitched white lace and started again and this is what transpired.
Inspiration and translation...
Because the front was pure layered tule, Libi my wonderful house mate made me a pair of matching midnight blue hot pants to wear under neath - Thank You Lib!
When it comes to fascinators I believe they should be elegant and add to your overall look, I really loved mine :-)
All in all not a terrible job, honestly I wasn't completely happy with the skirt but with only one night to create an entire dress it wasn't half bad.
The who's who were seen in their beautiful and brilliant, classic and classy, blue's whites and combo's

On an outside broadcast everyone needs a little blue bird that kept the tweets tweeting and info flowing...
