Room 57 – Jen’s dressing room (Melbourne, Australia)

Jen’s dressing room – A space used not merely for dressing, but for ‘swanning’. “Swanning basically involves putting on my favourite 1940’s silk pyjamas, a turban (a la Norma Desmond, Sunset Boulevard) and generally just getting about and lounging around.”

‘Elouise’ – Jen’s vintage mannequin.

This skirt has been worn by Jen at many a special occasion over the years – indeed one particularly close to my heart… my wedding!!
