the Wallace colletion

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

It’s in London, it’s absolutely beautiful and for free… http://www.wallacecollection.org/.

I saw myself in one of those 20 layers dresses, with big and powdered hair, walking along those corridors, rooms… it’s an experience. Every room is filled with paintings, stunning craftsmanship and history… you can forget yourself, the world outside and emerge into somebody else’s…

The same dress, the same bride, only 10 years older…

I found this gown in the first bridal shop we went to. It was on sale and it fit me perfectly. I was married 1 week later!

I’m keeping my dress. Maybe one day it will find another happy bride that I would not mind passing it on to. In a mean time it’s mine.

I only hope to manage to keep my proportions so that I can have fun photos like this in another 10, 20… years… :)
