Ivory gauze hood swelling into a bell, face fully veiled. Column dress in ruched translucent layers, one side flaring into organza panels. Barely seen tan peep-toes under the trailing hem. Crossing a chapel floor after everyone else has gone home.Photo: Courtesy of Francesca Lake
Openwork black veil dropped low over the eyes, hem ragged. Off-shoulder black gown with stacked flounces and a vast crinkled skirt. Dense frayed fringe circling the lower tiers. Black cluster bag shaped like a hanging bunch of bananas. At a candlelit banquet where the fruit centerpiece keeps going missing.Photo: Courtesy of Francesca Lake
Marigold organza blouse ballooning outward in torn petal-like layers. Matching crinkled skirt, vertically ruched and puffed into a cocoon hem. No shoes, toes fully exposed. Crossing a tiled courtyard just after the fountain was turned off.Photo: Courtesy of Francesca Lake
Monumental white organza ruff, edges knife-pleated into a cloud. Sheer white tulle bodice under corded lace with shell-like hip scrolls. Slim white lace trousers, one hem falling into a pointed ankle flap. White lace flats with a beaded buckle. Crossing a chapel aisle after the flowers have started to wilt.Photo: Courtesy of Francesca Lake
Acid-lime bob wig cut blunt across the brows. Cognac leather dress with a towering funnel collar and shredded peplum edges. Sheer black stockings. Square-toe pumps with crystal-trimmed vamps. Church basement pageant, someone left the prop dragon by the vestry door.Photo: Courtesy of Francesca Lake
