One Dress a Day Challenge
September: Bond Films
On Her Majesty's Secret Service / Dame Diana Rigg as Teresa "Tracy" Draco / di Vincenzo / Bond
I considered featuring this outfit for the month of weddings in June, but I had never seen the movie, and I didn't manage to get around to it at the time. I finally watched it this month, and I cannot disagree with those who say Tracy is among the best "Bond girls" ever.
The lacy pantsuit with sheer multilayered robe over it was a bold choice for a wedding in 1969, and it remains so now; but of course, Diana Rigg pulls it off effortlessly. It was designed by Marjory Cornelius.
The ring, designed by Charles de Temple, is also interesting (see below). Two were made for the film, and one of them sold for over 50,000 pounds at an auction in 2022. The words "all the time in the world" are written around both the interior and the exterior.

more James Bond doodles from my sketchbook :)
gradually drawing all the Bonds. George Lazenby this time + some Tracy and Blofeld. Telly Savalas is my favorite Blofeld actor by a landslide, I think he’s the only one who really struck a perfect silly/serious balance. He’s such a campy 60s movie villain but he still feels like a real threat to Bond’s life. Though I might be biased since I was already a fan of him in various stupid 60s horror movies before I got into Bond.

Just realised that right before dying James Bond reassures Madeleine who sobs out "If we only had more time" by saying "You have all the time in the world" in reference to the motto James had with Tracy Di Vicenzo, the only woman he ever married, and who died seconds after the sentence was said at the end of On Her Majesty's Secret Service 💔

"We always build 'em up to play live, for when we get to play it tomorrow night in front of a crowd, that's how we'd have it. So when we turn up at the studio, we're already good to go, really" | x
