This lady is standing in front a decorated wall wearing a fitted blue dress adjusted at the waist and a neckline décolletage. The dress maker used folds and pleats to enhance functionality and provide more freedom of movement. She is wearing a blue wide brimmed hat, a gold necklace, diamond earrings, and a bracelet on each wrist. From her wide smile, one can infer that she is in a happy mood while waiting for her beau to escort her to a glamorous society ball.
Drew Mandigo created the first seventeen Downtown Rideau Mural Boxes installed in late 2016, from his Auntie Mame Series. Stunning in their originality, Drew’s works feature digital collages of ladies dressed in 1950’s and 60’s fashions, and are inspired by the spirit of the 1958 film of the same name. Several new pieces were released as part of the 2017 mural box expansion project, including one featuring a lady trapped in a glass dome, surrounded by butterflies, and a unique piece dubbed ‘the upside-down lady’.
