Goodwood Revival


Goodwood Revival is on every year local to me, and I always try to make it.  It is a celebration of all things racing from the 1940's to 1960's.  The main interest for me is that everyone dresses up in vintage clothing, from WAF's to pin-up girls, soldiers to airmen.  I didn't think I would be able to go this year but a free ticket kindly given by a friend was wafted under my nose at the last minute, and I threw on a hair curler, head scarf, land girl boiler suit and wellies, and me and my little evacuee were off!  I am hugely influenced by this day out, and after seeing everyone in those gorgeous vintage fabrics and cuts, I am gagging to get home and design.
