Sitting In An English Garden (In Milan) With Alberta Ferretti

The Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti? Pre-war romance!

Ferretti's no enemy of gauzy gauzy femininity any time, but loving the over-the-top Bloomsbury feel of this!

Okay, this openwork gardening apron verges on bizarre, but there were lots of these meta-garments all over the runways.

Absurdly romantic, a touch Laura Ashley - but so pretty.

This juxtaposition of hard and soft feels very Vanessa Bell-at-Charleston.

Made for a garden party - ideally one involving apple trees.

The embroidered detailing is another vintagey nod.

Simple and perfect.

The motoring veil almost distracted me from this rather odd, rather mod little mini.

I love all them, while wearing them, I would be encouraged to ponder the meaning of life in a field of daisies.

Those dresses look strange on those models though, they don't suit the skinny bony-type gals. They need a gal with curves to fill them out!
