Recently eShakti reached out for a collaboration and I was excited, as they are not typically known for their vintage or retro clothing styles I tend to wear and thought it was a great opportunity to try a new brand. Sizes range from 0 XS – 6X 36!!

Vivien of Holloway: 1950s Style Skirts and Tops for Curves
Vivien of Holloway is based in London, UK and are very well known for their Halter Neck style dresses, Sarong sets and Tartan circle skirts. They are a brand that produces styles from the 1940s-1950s that are full of vintage charm. I have admired the brand’s outfits for quite sometime but was a little hesitant to order as I was unsure how their outfits would fit a curvy body and full bust. I finally went for it and ordered the Circle Skirt Red Palms and the Slash Neck Top Flame Satin Jersey…spoiler alert…. I am thrilled!!
Lindybop Corinna Dachshund Print Swing Dress
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.
