Everyone changes into their night attire at dusk! says Madeleine Brighouse here with Ruby Frost at Parachute. Mostly there are just many variations on high-waisted shorts, singlet tops and jandals, or floral dresses, but definitely some really original dressers…
Madeleine Brighouse, our Thread teen blogger and Doc Marten’s Ambassador, is at Parachute bringing us the highlights of the festival. Pictured left: Madz and Ruby Frost a.k.a. Jane de Jong.
There are definitely some really original dressers, but Madz says that "Everyone changes into their night attire at dusk!
Mostly there are just many, many variations on high-waisted shorts, singlet tops and jandals, or floral dresses."
