I am a little bit in love with this particular 80's does 40's dress. It was one of the first frocks I bought from Etsy and I was worried that it might not have fitted. But, I need not have done.
From this picture, you can see that I stepped out on what must have been a sun shiney day. Which means it did not get a lot of wear this summer. But I am toying with the idea of teaming it with trusty brogues or some red mary janes for the cooler months ahead.
Or, I might just wash it and store it for next year, wherein I shall eeeep with excitement at finding it, having forgotten all about it. It makes me feel decidedly home-maker-ish. And, dare I say it, a little lady like.
For those of you who know me, when I open my mouth, all such illusions are instantly shattered, never to return. Ho hum.
Yay for Etsy and it's illusion creating dress - for under £15 including postage.
I think you were wearing this at Ewell, and mighty fine it looked too. We went to Hammersmith Vintage Fair on Sunday which was fab, if you ever fancy it.

Hey Hen - indeed I was! Well remembered! I shall be trading at the one in Oct :) I shall have a look at the diary for the next Hammersmith:)
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I'd love to see you pair it with brogues for an autumn look.
ReplyDeleteThe dress is lovely, I am sure it would look lovely with brogues for the Autumn and then maybe you could squirrel it away until next spring, to be re found and re loved.
ReplyDeleteCute dress and I also think it would look nice with brogues for autumn as the red looks quite autumnal!
ReplyDeleteI think it would work very well for Autumn too, with a cardigan and some tights, it's really pretty. I can't be trusted near my computer at the moment - I bought a dress this morning before I'd even had my breakfast!

ReplyDeleteOOh I like it, I like it, strawbs and cream and pimms on the lawn. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteBeing a lady is overrated anyway. You don't get to drink pints or ANYTHING!
Lovely such a nice dress, I'm totally obsessed with finding the perfect red handbag at the mo!! X
ReplyDeleteI've not had any luck on Etsy for vintage yet, but this gives me hope! Beautiful dress, those bangles look lovely with it too! x
ReplyDeleteFantastic looking outfit, it looks great on you. I love brogues, yes they would look good with the dress.

LOVELY dress, looks great on you, and would be ideal in both summer and autumn guises.
ReplyDeleteLuvverly. You could def wear with mary janes and a red or grey blazer for autumn. Ooh and a beret! xx
ReplyDeleteYes, red and brown would be lovely. You need a little red hat to wear with it!
ReplyDeleteThanks chickas! It shall remain in the wardrobe of wearables for a little while longer then :)
