A Haunting in Venice | What to Wear to a Séance | 1947 Dress

When the invitation came, I could hardly believe it was true!! We were invite to attend a special séance at the @wrensnestatl in honor of the @ahauntinginvenice premier! We so enjoyed getting to tour the house, meet the other guests, and hear the wonderful storytelling of a ghost named Violet. It truly felt like we had been transported into an Agatha Christie novel. The next night we were invited to a pre-screening of the movie. It was sooooo good!! I was worried it was going to be really scary because the trailer makes is look like a horror film, but it’s not. It’s the Agatha Christie Poirot you know but with perhaps a fun supernatural twist? #ahauntinginvenice comes out in September 15th, which was Agatha Christie’s 133rd birthday! I was also asked to help with trivia before the movie which was extra fun!! Did you know that the character Tina Fey plays in @ahauntinginvenice Ariadne Oliver bears the most resemblance to Agatha Christie herself of all of her characters? They are both successful detective novelists. My outfit was inspired by the green color palate that Ariadne Oliver wears in this movie. For the occasion I made this 1947 ensemble, which happens to be the exact year the movie is set! I used Butterick Pattern 5214. In the movie description it just says it’s set in “post WWII Venice” so I guess, and got it on the nose! I styled it in different ways for the the different events.
