Get ready to rev your engines and join us in Petaluma for the Salute to American Graffiti car show! This weekend, the town will come alive with the sights and sounds of vintage and custom hot rods that will leave car enthusiasts in awe. So get your 1950s pinup style dress and red lipstick on for a fabulous classic car show!!

After a long hiatus due to the pandemic, the American Graffiti car show is back and better than ever! This year’s show was a roaring success, with an impressive display of hundreds of cars that spanned several blocks of downtown Petaluma. From fabulous Ford Fairlanes to classic Mustangs, the show had something for everyone. We even saw some rare beauties like Corvairs and Deuce Coupes that left us breathless!

What makes this event even more special is that it pays homage to the iconic 1973 movie American Graffiti, which was filmed mostly in Petaluma. The event is put on by dedicated volunteers who raise funds for local community projects, making it a great opportunity to support the town and have fun at the same time. Plus, with appearances from the movie’s stars like Ron Howard, Harrison Ford, Richard Dreyfuss, Suzanne Summers, Cindy Williams, and Wolfman Jack, the event had a touch of Hollywood glamour.

The local classic car show was approaching and the minute I received this Heart of Haute dress in my favorite Beverly cut in the feminine Serenity pattern I knew exactly what I would be wearing. I would surely standout being ultra ladylike and pretty in this gorgeous dress.

Finding vintage inspired dresses is not always easy when you are a curvy girl with a full bust (I am a G cup). Dresses with rounded necklines in particular are not easy to fit into, as they tend to squish the bust. But, the Beverly dress far surpasses any doubts and the fit is perfection!! Heart of Haute knows how to dress a lady and their designs look fabulous on a variety of body shapes.

I paired my pretty Beverley dress with a simple pink petticoat for a bit of added flair at the car show, some comfy wedges and my parasol. The colors of the Serenity dress are incredible with Asian Phi flowers that pick up pinks, corals, and soft blush orange with a highlighted gilt gold center. You can pair this dress with pink or coral or blush and even white works well and sets off the pattern and colors perfectly. The dress has a full swing skirt and empire waist with princess seams to fit the body and hug your curves. The round collar with cute bow tie adds the perfect touch of elegance and femininity. Heart of Haute knows it’s all about the details that really set off a dress. The dress zips up the back and has a tie. I am wearing the Beverley dress in Serenity in a size 1X and I think you’ll agree that it looks stunning on me, 🙂

This pretty dress is a dream in the spring and can take you through autumn and winter with the addition of a cardigan, sweet sweater or coat. I received so many compliments and posed for many pictures!! This is my second Beverly dress, as I own the Hydrangea pattern as well. I wear these beautiful dresses to work so they are perfect for work wear, dinner, and weekends.
