Hi hi! This evening I thought I'd share a few glimpses of the gallery show I had this Spring. It was my senior exhibition for my minor in photography. <span style="text-align: center;">Art has always been a side project for me, as I would hate the pressure of making it my career, and while my photography was technically for school it was also an important creative outlet so I wouldn't go mad just writing and researching my thesis all day!</span><span style="text-align: center;"> </span><span style="text-align: center;">As you can see, the love for antique dresses, long-empty farmhouses, and rural life I've cultivated on this blog are themes in my photographs as well.</span><br />
<br />
I put up 50 prints, plus <span style="text-align: center;">some installation elements and a hand-made book with some of my Western photographs. It was such a lot of work to install everything considering my show was only up for one week, but so very satisfying to see my work have a tangible presence. </span></div>

I'm a little nervous about putting my photographs out on the web, as who knows where they'll end up, but here are a few of the pictures I printed! My pictures are mainly on 35mm black-and-white film which I scanned and printed on a piezography printer. I printed them onto matte museum etching paper, which I just dry mounted onto plain white matboard and nailed to the wall (I painted all the nail heads to match the gallery wall). The scans are not as rich and black as my prints for want of editing, but you get the idea.<br />

Well, that's all for now! I was very excited to start documenting my wardrobe after school ended... but of course, my tripod broke, and after having access to a DSLR camera from my school's photography department I am quite resentful of my own old, bad little digital camera! Ah well, for my countryside summers I tend to dress very minimally, so I perhaps will I start blogging about other aspects of vintage style and creative projects :) I hope your June is off to a beautiful start!Dakotahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06955329474063496047noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838907812842203131.post-74182814788784077802015-06-04T09:48:00.000-04:002015-06-04T09:48:45.972-04:00Gossamer Gown UpdateHello friends!

I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to post lately; I've been very busy this Spring with finishing my thesis* and having my first gallery show. Perhaps now that I have a spare minute, I can take some time to document my outfits again. Here is a quick outfit post from a little while ago. It was one of the first warm spring days of the year, and I was so excited to be able to lay aside the thick stockings for a change!<br />
<br />

Wearing:<br />
1900s Edwardian child's dress<br />
Vintage lace-trimmed slip<br />
Crochet tights I've had for seven years(!!)<br />
Thrifted "We Who See" Oxfords<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
This little dress is a favorite of mine, a sweet mix of <i>Days of Heaven</i> and Victorian doll. It's just perfect with its short length, demure lace trim, and scores of dainty pintucks! It came without any buttons down the back, so I poked more holes in it to thread a ribbon corset-style down the back. (This little trick also allows me to fit into it, as it's got a mere 30" bust.)<br />

Since beginning my blog four years ago, I've made it a habit to document my Easter outfit each year. It's no secret that Easter is my favorite holiday; in addition to the celebration of all things lambs, chicks, pastels, and candies, it has traditionally been the gateway to Spring at home in New England, although this year Winter is still dragging its heels. Here's this year's look, taking some inspiration from Japanese dolly kei girls and 1920s silent film ingenues!</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The past year or two, I have really stopped documenting my wardrobe, but I've actually never been happier with it. I might try to catch a few more outfit snaps in the future, especially as my vintage wardrobe leans mostly towards Victorian and Edwardian pieces these days--pieces which are ephemeral and forever on the verge of decay, and which I really would like to thoroughly document before they are unwearable. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This dress, though "only" about seventy years old is actually in pretty rough shape, with tearing at the shoulders and a few snags throughout the fabric. Because it's large on me, I can still wear it pretty well without stressing the fabric too much. I do retire garments when they get too close to breaking down, then relegate them to wall hangings or cut them up to make new garments or doll clothes. But I never really throw them out, and I am interested in watching the way their forms change. It's so interesting how an old dress still evokes the era it's from, but yet is never quite the way it was originally, be it a white cotton taking on an aged ecru shade or a calico pattern becoming faded and patched from decades of wash and wear. No antique garment is truly pristine and untouched, so I no longer feel guilty if I hurry it to its next form by wearing it to shreds :)</span></div>

I have some big, exciting changes in my near future, so I'm letting go of a lot of beautiful pieces as I attempt to streamline things a bit so I'm not hauling so much stuff with me every time I move. I will have even more things listed in the week to come, including a lot of 1940s sleepwear, colorful 1950s separates, as well as hats, gloves, and vintage dolls. Stay tuned!<br />

I recently watched <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2309021" target="_blank">We Are What We Are</a>... what a beautiful film! <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The storyline is like </span><i style="color: #222222; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We Have Always Lived in the Castle </i><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">meets Ric Burns' </span><i style="color: #222222; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/donner/" target="_blank">the Donner Party</a>, </i><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">equal parts gruesome and gorgeous</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. But t</span>he atmosphere is what got me: it perfectly captures the sublime verdant beauty of late Spring, and the Gothic qualities of of rural America. While it takes place in Upstate New York, it reminded me so very much of Vermont, too, with the otherworldly quality of the green landscape when it's cloaked in rain, and the way the<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">golden hour 1970s trailerpark/ramshackle Victorian buildings are smeared thinly over the weird ancient Colonial world. There are lots of gorgeous shots framed by windows, windshields, and branches, giving viewers a veiled, voyeuristic look into the sisters' insular world. Finally, the soundtrack is magical, featuring old-time country and blues.</span></span></div>

I got boxes of vintage fripperies languishing in my attic, which I really have to get rid of, so there's more on the way, including sophisticated '50s dresses and suits, some luscious velvet maxi dresses, and stunning Gunne Saxes! My store's also got a new name, which hails from Emily
Dickinson's "Because I could not stop for Death", where this little
detail of the narrator's sheer garb has always stayed with me:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
"The Dews drew quivering and Chill –</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For only Gossamer, my Gown –</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Tippet – only Tulle – " </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Gossamer gowns" seem enchanted, archaic, not quite of this world--qualities shared by the antique and vintage dresses I'm so pleased to share with you. </div>

Easter is my favorite holiday, 'cause it's the cutest, and I get to be a twee-as-fuck pastel-clad princess. For Easter Sunday, I
wore a 1950s daffodil-hued chiffon prom gown & a 1950s bonnet in a
dusky tulle (with flowers underneath!). My puppy dog even had a spot at the
brunch table-- adorable. I luv you, Easter!!!</div>

When I found this cool eyelet gown at the antique mall last week for all of $15, I just had to make it mine---it reminds me so very much of the puffed-sleeve, full-skirted Southern belle/debutante gowns so many '30s and '40s boudoir dolls wear!!! My own mean-mugging boudoir dolly Lili Marlene sports a similar gown herself.</div>

This gown has quickly become one of my very favorite dresses. It
features a three-dimensional crochet lace trim, a peter pan collar, a
darling petal-like peplum, and hook-and-eye clasps all up the back. The
amazing attention to detail puts me in mind of Edwardian frocks, but
fortunately this guy is probably from the 1940s, so it's sturdier and
has great snug tailoring. I can't wait to pair it with my black western
boots this summer for a <i>Days of Heaven</i>, prairie ghost look!</div>

For more dollspiration, I of course have <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/dakotawalsh92/dollhaus/">a whole Pinterest board</a> for pretty boudoir dolls & the girls who look like them. I am a bit late to the Pin game, having just signed up a few months ago, but it's been a real boon to me & my frantic head full of aesthetic fixations. Feel free to <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/dakotawalsh92/">follow me</a> if you wanna keep up with my Springtime inspirations!</div>

Oh, and I am also re-opening my Etsy shop soon; just have to finish measuring & photographing, but I hope to be in business by mid April! I can't wait to show you all the wonderful dresses I'm listing; some it breaks my heart to let go of, but I'm trying so hard not to become a hoarder this early in life. </div>

See you soon! And don't forget---there's a genuine Baby Jane doll waiting for each and every one of ya right out in the foyer! </div>

</span><div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3; margin-top: 0;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">My
Sorrow, when she's here with me,</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
</span><div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3; margin-top: 0; text-indent: 25;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Thinks
these dark days of autumn rain</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
</span><div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3; margin-top: 0;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Are
beautiful as days can be;</span></div>

</span><div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3; margin-top: 0;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">She
loves the bare, the withered tree;</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
</span><div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3; margin-top: 0; text-indent: 25;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">She
walked the sodden pasture lane.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
</span><div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3; margin-top: 0;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
</span><div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3; margin-top: 0;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Her
pleasure will not let me stay.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
</span><div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3; margin-top: 0; text-indent: 25;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">She
talks and I am fain to list:</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
</span><div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3; margin-top: 0;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">She's
glad the birds are gone away,</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
</span><div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3; margin-top: 0;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">She's
glad her simple worsted gray</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
</span><div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3; margin-top: 0; text-indent: 25;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Is
silver now with clinging mist.</span></div>

</span><div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3; margin-top: 0; text-indent: 25;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The
faded earth, the heavy sky,</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
</span><div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3; margin-top: 0;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The
beauties she so truly sees,</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
</span><div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3; margin-top: 0;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">She
thinks I have no eye for these,</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
</span><div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3; margin-top: 0; text-indent: 25;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">And
vexes me for reason why.</span></div>

</span><div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3; margin-top: 0;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Not
yesterday I learned to know</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
</span><div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3; margin-top: 0; text-indent: 25;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The
love of bare November days</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
</span><div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3; margin-top: 0;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Before
the coming of the snow,</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
</span><div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3; margin-top: 0;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">But
it were vain to tell her so,</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
</span><div style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 3; margin-top: 0; text-indent: 25;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">And
they are better for her praise.</span></div>
