Party Pieces - Dolly July 1982

After a hiatus, here's a new post to signal more regular posts from here on in!  This spread is soo up my alley - I mean knicker bockers, frills, taffeta, sashes and luxe gold accents not to mention the David Bowie cameo.  Adore.

Hollywood Nights - Dolly Special '81

Quite a cute little Hollywood themed silks and satins feature which according to the credit was shot at Harlow Restaurant in Sydney.  I tried to find out if this restaurant was still going, but alas Google did not produce me with any information.  It's kinda funny to think of carpet inside a restaurant, but I guess back in '81 - carpets were everywhere!  You can even see stains on the carpet which illustrates carpet in a restaurant not being a very good idea at all!  The fashions in this spread are a little on the daggy side, but some of the pieces are quite cute, namely both the outfits in last photo, and I was surprised to see that the jumpsuit was from Katies of all places!

Along Party Lines - Dolly January 1982

A faaaaaabulous 1982 party dress feature here featuring lots of drop-waisted dresses, taffeta and harem style pants.   So so so adorable.  I love the layout of the pages with the rips and the streamer picture reminds me so much of Clare Grogan of Altered Images!  I actually have a dress very similar to the bow one ... I must check the label to see if it's by 'Pipps' as well.
