Pauline and Christine both looking absolutely gorgeous! What a way to represent Southland! ๐๐ค
Some interesting extra detail for you about these beautiful ladies from yesterdayโs The Ned Prix De Fashion final at the Ellerslie Racecourse.
Christine Livingstone (left) hails from Invercargill - and was yesterday wearing a dress, that she wore when she was selected in the finals of Melbourne Cupโs fashion in the field, last November.
Many of her outfits and fascinators are made in Australia and sheโs already got some exciting options in line for this yearโs Melbourne Cup, she tells me. Iโm sure sheโll look stunning.
Pauline Pattullo ,of Banks Peninsula, won the fashion in the field event at the Southland Racing Club last year, and was representing the province in Auckland yesterday. Her striking outfit was created by Mikhal Design of Christchurch, who also had another dress in the finals yesterday.
The colour and creativity at yesterdayโs event was breathtaking - donโt worry about what the horses are doing, it was about dressing up and looking gorgeous. ###l
