Clothing and Style 2 days of fun
One of the best things about Dapper Day
weekend is being able to pose in Dapper Day
clothing in front of the iconic buildings in the
parks. Of course, Cinderella’s castle is the
most iconic building in Magic Kingdom.
Unfortunately we sometimes forget to get
good photos there before the crowds start
pouring in. This year, we took special time
to get our pictures done early.
They can’t all be serious poses. Sometimes we can’t resist clowning
around a little bit.
There is a cozy little street on the side of Main Street
that provides some of the nicest picture spots. We
were lucky that Sean happened to be in the area when
we wanted some shots, so he obliged us by getting
some pictures that we wanted before the street got
too crowded. And it was a nicely shaded area, so the
morning heat didn’t get to us too early.
The flowering plants that
Disney has along this
street add to the beauty
of this street. And this
doctor/photographer/
dapper gentleman fit right
into the street, as if he
just walked there from
another time.
A gentleman always tips his hat to greet
people passing by.
This “baby” might have
had the best seat in the
park on this particular
day. She certainly seemed
to get around the park
with no effort.
Of course, Joanie always
carries a parasol with her.
This particular one features
pictures of all of her
Dapper Day outfits from the
past, complete with the
pattern numbers she used
to sew the dresses. It even
has the year of the dress.
1940’s, 1950’s syle. It was
quite a conversation piece.
This parasol looks like a fairly simple idea, but it involved many hours of shooting
the photos to show the dresses correctly. Then the photos had to be printed on
transfer paper, pressed onto fabric triangles, sewn together to make an umbrella
cover, lined and then sewn onto the umbrella frame. The final touches were adding
a little airbrushed color to the panels and sewing lace around the bottom edge and
the very top of the canopy. Because of the length of time it took to take the photos,
we probably had about three weeks worth of work in its creation.
Magic Kingdom has so many quaint little spots along Main Street and some of the
shops, we had fun looking for different places to get pictures. And of course, sunlight
changes throughout the day, so two pictures taken in the same spot may look quite
different a different times of the day.
Because of the hot Florida days, a parasol and a fan
are always necessary accessories for a lady.
The dapper gentleman manages to have a vintage
camera with him at all times, because you just never
know when the perfect scene will grab his attention.
And if he is a doctor, his doctor’s bag is a must!
