Collectif clothing is making all of my Fall outfit dreams come true with the gorgeous Vintage Eliana Forest Floral Swing dress. The Eliana is a style I hadn’t tried before and it was the sweetheart neckline and the woodland print with Fall colors and adorable bunny rabbits that caught my eye and I was very excited to try it on.
It’s not often I find a feminine and flattering fit and flare dress with a cute anchor print that fits just right. I love all things nautical so when I saw this Lady V of London Swing Dress – Nautical print I was so excited to get my hands on it and new I’d be wearing it all Spring and Summer long.
Hello sunshine!! It has been raining so much here in California that the minute it stopped hubby and I ran outside to snap some pics in this absolutely adorable dress “Corinna” Dachshund Print Swing Dress from Lindybop.
This was my first Corinna style and I loved the adorable print of Dachshunds and flowers. The dress had a bit of a homespun look with the mint colored rickrack and Dachshund patch pockets making it that much more adorable. The fabric is so light (97% Cotton 3% Elastane) with some stretch that this will be a go-to summer dress for sure. I also love the button detailing on the bust. I really like the smocked elasticated back that vintage style summer dresses have. The full skirt is fantastic so you can wear a petticoat if you want for additional fluff and I am wearing one in these pics.
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!!
From the moment I saw the Voodoo Vixen Katnis dress in blue on Instagram, I had to have it. But, it wasn’t listed for sale yet anywhere so I would have to keep checking sites that sell Voodoo Vixen regularly until it popped up for sale.
I had seen the Voodoo Vixen Katnis dress in green jade before and wasn’t compelled to purchase it. Yes, it was a cute dress with fun kitschy ‘raining cats’ print but, not something I had to have. That is until it debuted in a marvelous bright turquoise blue color!! I had to have it.
The dress finally appeared on Top Vintage and I quickly snapped it up. It took nearly a month for it to make its way from Europe to my door in California but, when it arrived, it was 100% worth the wait!!
I took the dress out of the package and it was exactly what I was expecting. The color was bright and blue!! The kitty cats were adorable and the piping on the collar, sleeves, and pockets added so much charm. I could not wait to wear it. It was everything I hoped for in a swing dress. I got my chance to take this beauty out on a weekend with my husband that was sunny and we went antiquing and then ran some errands.
I only owned 1 Voodoo Vixen prior to this one (the Joni) and it had a little stretch so I hoped the blue Katnis would too. I based my sizing completely off the size guide listed on the website. I am a curvy girl with G cups so I ended up with a 1X to fit my breasts and I knew it would be roomy in the waist. When I put the dress on it was immediately comfortable, fit my curves nicely and the fabric very comfy as it is made from cotton. The dress did fit nicely across my chest and was very roomy in the waist. Had I sized down, I don’t think it would have fit my breasts. The belt that comes with the dress is rather flimsy….. does not hold shape well as it is made from fabric. I think I will add a skinny belt that is sturdier the next time I wear it and then it will show my waist better. Nonetheless, I LOVE this dress.
Walking down the street so many people just looked at me and smiled and many complimented me on the darling dress and color. This dress will be very nice to wear in Spring, and early Summer and even in the Fall (does not get very cold in California). It has a dressy casual flair and the color makes it so fun. My hubby was sweet and snapped a couple pictures of me wearing the dress. This dress is definitely one of my favorites!
