Its always a pleasure having Jill Barber in the store.  Its especially grand that she made the time for a visit during the launch of her new CD.  Check out this great clip from Etalk as Jill tries out a variety of vintage look a la some of history’s most talented songstresses.

This dress recently appeared on a great segment of E!Talk worn by the lovely Jill Barber when she recently visited Cabaret to speak about her newly released cd and her passion for fashion.  We’ve received a few inquires about the dress so we thought we would re-feature this great find.

This is an original 1940s original with some of the beautiful touches that were a halmark of that period.  A great stage-style dress, the top of the bodice is a beige coloured netting that has been hand detailed with rhinestones.  At the side, the flower accent that graces the hip is comprised of silk  handcut and assembled petals of various fabric colours.  Together they create a stunning bouquet.  As the segment on E!Talk points out, this dress is very Billie Holliday in nature with the great styling and cut of the bodice and hem.

As an additional bonus, check out some behind the scenes shots of the entire look created for the shoot.

StyleMePretty.com is a fantastic resource for inspiration when wedding planning.  We were honored to be invited to provide looks for a Bohemian-inspired wedding shoot by A Simple Photograph featuring fantastic rentals by Hazlitt Vintage Rentals.  The whole tone of the shoot was brought to life by vintage props and pieces and the rustic outdoor atmosphere was truly a unique experience.

Cabaret Vintage Toronto styled our models, Katie and Eric.  Cabaret is a vintage clothing company that has been known to style a wedding or two in their day!  Most of what they carry in their shop is authentic vintage clothing, but they also have designed a wedding line that is modern but vintage inspired (http://www.cabaretvintage.com/category/bridal-the-cabaret-collection-wedding-dresses/) .  Tao provided Katie with elements of both old and new!  She wore three bridal looks though out the shoot.

The first was “The Baby Doll”.   A vintage inspired gown that Tao paired with a black velvet cape circa 1960.  The second was a beaded shift dress, which I believe was also a 1960′s gown.  This was paired with a vintage mink and finally Katie wore the dress she sported at her own wedding to Eric earlier this year, “The Soiree”.  This is also a vintage inspired dress that Tao paired with yet another mink.  Katie was gorgeous!  Eric’s look was masculine rugged and bohemian.
