Preston

Last updated: 03 October 2000 Next Tour Page

Yet again Preston comes around - a nice weekend with the pleasures of Blackpool on hand. This time warnings of more than twenty thousand Young Farmers, suggested a trip there would be more advisable en homme, so that it what we did. But we still had the usual fun and frolics of dressing up. This time there were two highlights:

The first was a gorgeous suit in PVC ostrich skin, found in a lovely shop in a mall. The dress is strapless, the jacket close fitting. Dscf0411a.jpg (123902 bytes) DSCF0420.JPG (267091 bytes)

The second, real triumph, was the late Victorian dress in black taffeta with a gorgeous bustle. This was magnificent to wear, and a real piece of engineering underneath (I should know - I made it!). My dressmaker really excelled herself with this one.
