Yasmina Greco – Pinup Girl Clothing Nancy Dress

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!!

Welcoming Fall Pinup style. Here’s a look at my recent outfits and I think you’ll agree they are perfect for Fall. I love my Pinup Girl Birdie dress in turquoise blue with big yellow Fall florals and of course my Heart of Haute yellow/orange floral Aimee dress which screams Fall!! It is even starting to get chilly here in beautiful wine country California and I’ve had to pull out my nautical Pinup Kiera swing coat from Collectif Clothing. My Bernie Dexter ‘Happy Hour‘ dress too has lovely Fall colors of oranges and green and is so much fun to wear. Some of my favorite novelty print swing skirts too are perfect for Fall and I have been wearing my Deadly Dames Darling Dames Skirt in Venus Fly Trap print from Pinup Girl Clothing and of course my Poodle skirt from Dangerfield.

I have a fun Halloween shoot coming up so stay tuned!! Hope you are all enjoying your Fall and wearing your great Autumn outfits too!!

Review: Pinup Girl Clothing Jenny Dress in Orange Border Print – The Full-Busted Pinup Girl’s Best Friend

Yasmina Greco – Pinup Girl Clothing Jenny Dress in Orange Border Print

Bright, happy, elegant, effortless, and colorful are all words I think of when I where this dress the Pinup Couture Jenny Dress in Orange Border Print and I am so happy I snapped it up when it was restocked at Pinup Girl Clothing. The print is amazing, one of the best novelty prints I have ever seen. Reminds me of 1950s Florida and I love that the oranges range in colors of yellow to bright orange and go from small to bigger on the hanging branches.

In these pictures that my wonderful hubby who does amazing things with vintage cameras over at Upcycled Classics snapped of me, I have my Pinup Couture Wicker Baguette Purse in lime green and added a simple yellow cardigan. I felt glamorous and chic, like I was on the Riviera. We snapped some pics on the front porch with fluffy puppy Luna then headed to a lovely outdoor antique and collectible show. I was comfortable and relaxed and received so many compliments.

The Jenny dress is one of my wardrobe staples and I don’t have nearly enough!! When you are a full-busted gal like myself it is very hard to find dresses that fit, have style, and have such great novelty prints and that is why the Jenny is a staple for me. I always feel put together and effortless. The dress is styled after the 1960s sundresses. The first thing you notice when you step into the dress is that the bodice is lined, boned, and fused. The lovely orange colored straps are adjustable so you can show as much or as little of your curves as you are comfortable with. Because of the adjustable straps and boning, the dress has incredible structure and will flatter a range of bust sizes, even those of us blessed with full-bust lines can comfortably wear this gorgeous dress and feel very put together and chic. The skirt on the Pinup Couture Jenny Dress in Orange Border Print is much like the Jenny skirts, a very full circle skirt and the material is a luxurious sateen that holds pleats and shape incredibly and this version even has pockets!! Zips nicely up the back and nips in your waist. Also, this one comes with a matching orange belt and that adds just the right amount of flair. Be prepared for lots of compliments!!

I am wearing the Jenny Dress in Orange Border Print in a 2XL (all my Jenny dresses are 2XL) and this size accommodates my full bust, yes, it is very roomy in the waist as I take XL in Jenny skirts but I love having the option of adding a belt to take in some of the excess fabric if I prefer, depending on how much waist definition I want that day.

A short and sweet post here for you all now that I finally got my hot little hands on this adorable Pinup Girl Clothing Jenny skirt in the Mary Blair ‘Circus Elephant’ print.

This one does not disappoint!! It is amongst my very favorite Jenny skirts from Pinup Girl. The print and colors are what this stunner is all about. This Jenny fits me spot on and I am wearing an XL, I did notice that the fabric does give a little in the waist making it just that much more comfy. I absolutely love the gathered waist and full hemline in this 1950s circle skirt. The Mary Blair magic is certainly there with the stripes that are so sweet and those charming Elephants and balloons in perfect big-top flair!! Colors of vibrant pinks, blues and yellows are what initially called out to me and I knew I had to have this skirt on my body right away. I paired it with my Steady Clothing Sophia top which is fits my curves perfectly!! I also added a pretty pink petticoat and Pinup Girl Clothing shows. Even my puppy dog Luna loved it… well maybe not as much as me!!

1950s Pinup Girl Red Cherry Swing Dress

Posted on April 18, 2016 by Fan

After an eventful week, it was nice to spend Sunday at home with my hubby doing chores and relaxing. Hubby was so sweet to snap some pics of me before we headed off to a nice dinner.

It was a sunny and comfortable day and this dress from Pinup Girl clothing is one of my very favorites and I enjoy wearing it. Also, it is one of the first dresses I purchased when I started living my pinup girl life almost a year ago now. Cherries always make me smile!! Dress is the Molly from Pinup Couture and has a nice long swing skirt, has a crisp white background decorated with bright red cherries. The fit of this dress is superb and very accommodating for us dolls with large and full breasts and even has adjustable straps. The bow in front can be tied loose or tight and has a gathered bodice for a nice curvy fit. There are also pockets!! I paired this one with my Heart of Haute sweet sweater in red and the tie in front adds a nice shape to the overall look. A pretty red NiCoCo Creations hair flower completes my look. I got try out my new parasol too as I enjoyed our garden with the pretty blooming plants. Can’t wait another month for car show season to begin down here and that parasol won’t be leaving my side!!

Keep an eye out for more Molly dresses from Pinup Girl Clothing as they are feminine, fit curvy girls very nicely and are so comfy and make you feel gorgeous!!

Hope you all had a great weekend!!

Review: Pinup Girl Nancy Dress for Easter with a Puppy Bunny

Posted on March 29, 2016 by Fan

It was the style and colors that first got my attention of the Pinup Girl Clothing Pinup Couture Nancy Dress in Blue Lemonade last summer with the aqua blue background pink lemons and white florals. The dress has so much attention to detail with adjustable straps, sweetheart neckline and a slightly padded bust with a ruched line down the middle to create definition and scalloped lace trim on the bust with a fabulous circle skirt complete with pockets. The Nancy is so dainty and feminine and I could not wait to slip my curves into it.

I ordered the Pink Lemonade Nancy shortly after the blue and thought what a fabulous Easter/Spring dress it would be. The pink lemons and white florals are perfect. It was a bit chilly this Easter Sunday so I wore the Nancy dress with my Heart of Haute white Sweet Sweater and I think it works so well with the dress as it not only hugs your curves, ties into a pretty bow and adds a layer of warmth.

I wear the Nancy in a size 2X to fit my well-endowed bosom. The waist is very very roomy in the 2X but, I find that adding a cute skinny belt or the Sweet Sweater make the dress incredibly figure flattering. The Nancy does have quite a bit length and that is actually something I really like as finding a longer dress is not always easy and, I think it is incredibly ladylike. I wear the Nancy dress with a striking pair of high heels and I couldn’t feel prettier or feminine. I add a nice fluffy petticoat underneath and I am ready to twirl!! I receive so many compliments too!!

My Bichon Frise Luna was my puppy bunny and posed so nicely for a Easter picture with me. Hope you all had a great Easter holiday.
