Well, this is rather an exciting post if there ever was one!
Today the latest issue of Homes and antiques magazine has come out, and guess what? I am in it!!!
I can’t begin to explain how insanely excited I am about this feature.
Homes and antiques is one of my all time favourite magazines (as a fashion student I should really being saying something like Vogue, but no!) So i was incredibly excited when I got asked to come and model for the magazine.
I am in the feature about vintage ballgowns written by the wonderful Katherine Higgins.
The dress above was a rather special dress as it was once MARGARET LOCKWOOD’S BALLGOWN!!! Yep, that’s right i was allowed to wear Margaret Lockwood’s Victor Stiebel for Jacqmar dress recently sold at Kerry Taylor auctions.
Three of the dresses seen belong to me. This being the two
Horrockses dresses seen above and also the gold ballgown (below) made from late 19th century fabric but turned into this dress in the 1950s.
The white dress is currently available from Velvet atelier
and this dress can be hired from Haselmere wardrobe
And if you are wondering about my rather glamorous look my hair and make up was done by the wonderful Natasha from pretty me vintage. Thanks for making me feel like a film star for the day!
I highly recommend a peruse of the latest issue great features as ever, well done H&A!!!

You look incredible! Congratulations (and I couldn't be more envious of being able to wear La Lockwood's frock!) x
Oh my god, you look gorgeous. The dresses are amazing and so is the hair and make up. So jealous.xx
You look fabulous! Those dresses are so beautiful, I'd love to own something similar. The ones you own made of vintage fabric, did you designed yourself? xx
Hi Ana, it was actually made up in the 1950s by a couturier who trained at the house of Worth!
Oh my, totally gorgeous! Must go and get my copy – I'm a new reader but I'm absolutely hooked!xx CharlotteTuppence Ha'penny Vintage
