Crich Tramway Easter 1940s | Tony Fletcher
Although I've been mostly absent from re-enactment for a long while due to other commitments and mixed feelings about the scene, I did manage to attend the Easter 1940s re-enactment at Crich Tramway museum. Crich is probably my favourite of all the events I've attended, and I'm usually fortunate to run into Tony Fletcher, who is a photographer regular readers of Lovebirds Vintage are probably familiar with as he has worked with me many times in the past. He took some wonderful photos at the museum and it was hard to restrict myself to just the pictures I'm sharing here... you can see the rest along with photos of other attendees in this album of Tony's. I hope you enjoy the pictures!
I'm wearing:
1940s dress and shoes both via Etsy
Faux fur coat from M&S by way of a since-closed local boutique
Belt and earring from Primark
Vintage powder compact belonged to my granddad's late first wife
Lipstick is Besame Tango Red
Let's get social!

ReplyDeleteGosh, you are gorgeous Helen! I feel like my eyes all but disappear without copious amounts of eyeliner but you really don't need it! No wonder you wanted to post them all... x
ReplyDeleteThanks, CiCi! I don't usually wear eyeliner or 40s looks anyway, but I'm sure Tony does some kind of magic on eyes as he always makes his models' eyes look amazing x
DeleteThese photos are so beautiful. You have had some stunning sets in the past but these might even be the best yet! You have definitely brightened up my day. Kx
