Continuing on our last post...

Busy weekend! sorry I was away for so long (again!) 

Anyhoo, I am still hung up on Jojn William Waterhouse, and have been comparing actual costumes to some of the paintings so I thought I'd share...enjoy! 

To start, lets go with my favorite......


And what i thought looked similar....



Would just need a belt and pouch to complete the look!

Next painting...


Ok so I am comparing the green dress here..
Armstreet actually has a very similar dress and you can choose from a myriad of colors...



So it's on to the next one...


Wrong color, same dress...




Well that's all for today, Cheers!

Been doing a little research on 'PreRaphaelite' style clothing, which lead to the art which lead to the artwork of John Waterhouse. So many of his pieces are breathtaking, and I am now determined to re create at least one dress from a painting of his. Anyway here are some of my favorites...enjoy!

Ophelia

 
The Lady of Shalott


The Lady Clare



Windflowers




Tristan and Isolde with the Potion


Ophelia


Rosamund
The Flower Picker

The Mystic Wood



   


The Enchanted Garden
 And For my absolute favorite...
Miranda (from Shakespeare's The Tempest)

 Cheers!

Medieval Fantasy...

Another jewel of a dress from Armstreet, 'Archeress'.  I love that place and all their dresses! (but I am sure you noticed that...)



You can get it with this killer bodice too!


Cheers!
