In this post, we’re showcasing the show-stopping Gloria Swing Dress with Pele Bolero in Calypso Castaway print, masterfully captured by Gary Greco for Pinup Girl Clothing. With a dress as mesmerizing as this, only a location as dazzling as The Astro Motel could do it justice. So, buckle up and join us as we dive into a detailed review of the Gloria Swing Dress and unveil the magic of The Astro Motel!
Wearing a size 2X, I was thrilled with the dress’s feminine form, gracefully accommodating my ample bust while accentuating my waist for that coveted hourglass silhouette. The Gloria’s wide, adjustable straps and subtly dipping neckline allow for customizable décolletage exposure, while the full swing skirt (complete with deep pockets!) adds a lavish touch.
Accompanying the Gloria Swing Dress is the charming Pele bolero, a delightful addition to this sleeveless masterpiece. With cap sleeves, a contrasting collar detail, and the same cotton sateen fabric, the Pele bolero adds a layer of elegance and versatility. Accessorized with a bright yellow vintage purse, heels, and hair flowers, I felt utterly radiant in this gorgeous ensemble. And for those who love coordinating outfits, there’s even a Men’s Sunliner Shirt in the Calypso Castaway print by Charles Phoenix!
