Rising Moons

By Sally Hewett 2014

Dimensions
h90cm x w33cm x d15cm

As 2014 is the tercentenary of George I's accession to the English throne I have been researching Georgian style and fashion, particularly female fashion. This particular look was referred to colloquially as Rising Moons. I wanted to celebrate the verve and flamboyance of Georgian fashion.
