Cheltenham Ladies Day, UK 2019

 

Sonia:

"I've been wandering the Net for months to find rare vintage photos of the Natchez Pilgrimage yearly celebrations. Since 1932, when it all started, especially
from the 30s to the 60s or 70s, and probably up to nowadays, it seems they dressed their Southern Belles hostesses in amazingly beautiful elaborate white dresses... (upper right)

"In my sense, Natchez, Mississippi would be far more interesting to visit in terms of Southern Belles fashion
than Mobile Alabama and their mono-form but colourful Azalea Trail Maids... (lower right)
"I also stumbled upon 
The Society of Martha Washington Colonial Pageant and Ball in Laredo TX, organizing
festivals since 1939... And also the 
Cape Fear Garden Club in Wilmington NC, doing theirs since 1925..."

"A picture taken from the Goodwood Revival in the UK. This is a vintage motor racing event and some of the ladies dress up in clothes from The Era. The lady on the right is giving us a good peek of white fluffy delight!"
