Would you like a cup of tea? :)

I recently had the opportunity to visit an amateur market. 

It's a hobby I love for years and that I find relaxing, funny and sometimes extremely interesting for the different types of objects you can usually find. Far away from the historiographic sophistication of auction houses, you can spend pleasant hours admiring unusual objects .
These items tell us about a past time, made of life, affections, human warmth and memories often mingled over time by acquiring every single discovery a character of the novelty

And in this serene walk in the fall sun I was fascinated by the unexpected vision of a small treasures exposed; a set of porcelain cups, some singles, with or without saucer, others in pairs, or in small groups.All these cups looked on the passersby with polite elegance.The absolute perfection of each single cup made each of them absolutely precious as the unique pieces of a collection without priority. The eyes were cheerful and happy from one cup to the other, from one particular to the other, from a flower painted to a shade of color, in the search for the secret of such beauty. 
The delicate precision of the decorations gave each cup a distinction of individual grace equal to each single pearl projecting the light  that invests the atmosphere around it. 

The color sparkle , now tenuous, now decisive, in an unusual nuances of shades, shapes and styles made the encounter a source of inexhaustible inspiration for the blythe clothes I brought with me at home and in my wandering on the internet in search of the same magic I had experienced.  

What a surprise! 

 Such delicate shapes and colors were able to pass the screen in the photos I found in harmony with the illustrations of old fairy tales.The sense of preciousness measured, the meticulous sophistication of decorations, the harmony or the delightful contrast of color matching in a game of mutually underlining have made the vision almost magical, hypnotic, fascinating, enchanting in the whisper of beauty that  the original seen composition of single cups had .


























So , the choice of natural silk as main material, with its softness and at the same time living iridescent colours played key role in the making of every single dress with its riny details..
My ideal girl who wears these ensambles is a dreamy creature living ina  world of fantasy  where everything is painted with particoular nuances  of derams, flowers and fragrances.


Every set (dress , petticoat, hairpin and tights)has been made with a lot of attention and care , choosing the best materials and harmonius colours  to get that magic sensation  according with the original idea of Victorian fairytale fashion.

Every set includes:

Dress:
I used for these dresses dupioni silk fabric in two different colours , white cotton bariste and ,as decoration, two different antique cotton French laces stained with tea to give them an ancient and vintage look,100% black silk ribbon and Venetian glass beads .
Close at the back with tiny metal snaps.

Petticoat:
 the wide cream color petticoat was made with tulle and decorated  with stained with tea English lace  to give the dress the right fullness.

Tights:
I used a knitted cream fabric to get a Bonne fille look.

Hair pin:
As a crown for a princess , the hairpin repeats the central elements of the dress  in a tiny perfection of silk, laces and lines.


It was an exciting challenge to recreate the delicacy of porcelain, the latent transparency, the lightness of the decorations in a dream of timeless beauty
the inebriating and subtle scents of the tea that wrap these creations.
