Soda Fontaine: Miss Pinup New Zealand

The final outfit required for Miss Pinup NZ is evening wear. This segment is all about the glamour and showing your classy side ;) Deciding my evening wear was definitely my biggest challenge as I'm more of a casual kinda gal. My Pinup Girl Clothing Monica dress in lavender, silver lurex had been hiding in my closet and needed a new lease on life. I've always wanted to add a tule fish tail design to the bottom of my Monica for a burlesque costume, but decided the competition was more of the opportune moment to do it. Inspiration for my evening wear also stemmed from Marilyn Monroe, and finally, the time I visited the Monte Carlo casino on Christmas Day in 2012.

The talented and very sweet Devel Branded adapted the Monica by adding numerous layers of tule to the bottom, and shortening the sleeves to create a different look. The dress is so divine, I just love it.
