A Different Accent - Dolly April 1984

Hope you enjoy this somewhat risqué feature from April 1984 Dolly as modelled by Sarah Nursey and photographed by Greg Barrett.  I am crazy for the look with the chains.. I'd love to try to do that makeup for myself, and the rag look with the checkered fabric is so so stunning!!!!

Rough Stuff - Dolly March 1984

This is a very 1984 fashion spread entitled 'Rough Stuff' featuring heavy duty fabrics.  Photography by Graham Shearer and I can only identify one of the models - Sarah Nursey of course - the ultimate Dolly model herself!  A gorgeous set of photographs, and I do like the look of tying the bottom of the pants above the ankle, as seen in the second last image.  The co-op pinafore dress is very much of this time as well .. I know I have definitely seen some ads in the issues for Co-op which I'll have to upload soon.

This issue I definitely remember having at the time - featuring the all time fave covergirls!  Within the magazine, it was interesting to read of Sarah Nursey having spent three years living in an Israeli Kibbutz after finishing school!

I chose this fashion spread because I really love the heavy focus on lurex and sequins - oh and that vintage green dress on Anna-Louise is simply gorgeous!

The final image is for Roxan who left a comment on here the other day - I love that you're here posing with Bruce Samazan during his E-Street days.  I adored him back when!  I love the outfits too - the early 90's was still quite interesting for fashion I feel - am seriously wanting that Saba anorak Aileen is sporting.

Here's to wishing it was Winter already: Dolly Magazine June 1984

After a 40 degree (Celsius) day here in Melbourne Australia a couple of days ago, I am seriously longing for the cosiness of Winter.

I have to pick out the polka dot look and the cropped jumper as my faves from this spread.

And this spread features the ever-popular Dolly model Sarah Nursey, with photography from the icon that is Graham Shearer.
