Today is the very last day of sunshine for a while here in California. A storm is brewing, promising much needed rain. I wanted to wear one of my very favorite dresses one last time for the season. This is the Nancy dress from Pinup Girl Clothing in Pink Lemonade print.

Pink is such a feminine color, so cheerful too and perfectly Pinup. What I like about this dress is that it is a nice longer length, has adjustable straps, a shallow sweetheart neckline that is trimmed with a lace ruffle. There is also the added touch of two decorative heart-shaped buttons. The pattern is a lovely pink color with pink lemons and green leaves and perfectly named ‘Pink Lemonade’ print.

In these pics taken by my sweet hubby Gary I am wearing my Nancy dress in Pink Lemonade with a pink cardigan. The dress is light but has a good weight to the fabric and does not wrinkle easily. I feel very pretty and put-together when I wear this and I receive so many compliments. Twirling in this dress is a lot of fun too!! The public responds so genuinely with smiles and compliments when they see someone dressed in pinup style.

Halloween Pinup style coming next on the blog so stay tuned for pics of me and Luna and a trip to the pumpkin patch wearing our Halloween themed outfits!!

1950s Pinup Girl Dresses for Curvy Girls Part 1

I have always wanted to wear dresses and skirts, beautiful girly blouses too but, with my ample bosom, small waist and curvy hips, No Way could I walk into my local Macy’s and walk out with something gorgeous that hugged my curves in a lady-like way and made me feel and look beautiful. Ladies with my curvy figure, you know what I am talking about. If the dress top fits then it is so big and unflattering in the middle, you look like you are expecting, or, if you can find a blouse that buttons across your breasts, the rest is so big in the waist and sides that you just want to yank it off.

It was this recent Spring, thanks to my husband ( he has a real knack for these things), that I discovered a couple sources for beautifully made clothing, styled after the 1950s-1960s, and had the right looks, colors and cuts to accentuate my curvy figure while making me feel so pretty and lady-like. Here is one of my favorite sources (I will post up additional sources in part 2)

This site has sizes in XS- 4X, all clothing is made in the USA too!! They make couture for every body and really support and promote body confidence for women. I started out with the below dresses buying them in a 2X so that they fit my ample breasts and then I add a belt around the middle to accentuate my waist/hips. The fabric is so luxurious, all I want to do is twirl, twirl, twirl. And let me warn you, if you are not accustomed to receiving compliments, you better prepare yourself as you will!! I receive non-stop compliments when I wear these beautiful clothes. You can see more of my outfits on my Instagram page –

Jenny Dress in Snow White Print. The colors are incredible on this sundress and it is boned and fused through the bodice to give it amazing structure. I actually wore it for the first time to a high-profile work event, topped with a sunny yellow cardigan.

The Birdie Dress in blue with yellow peony flowers. This was my very first dress from pinupgirlclothing. When it arrived I was so excited to put it on. The fit was really incredible, it hugged me just where I needed it to and all I wanted to do was twirl. The dress has a full skirt, wide notched collar creating a classic, polished silhouette. Finished off with a side zipper and wide matching belt, this lovely dress is made of a rich cotton sateen. I really felt like I was wearing a magical creation from the 1950s (stay tuned for pics, I will wear it at my photo shoot next week).
