I bought this beautiful dress from a lady through a facebook buy/sell/swap group, for a reasonable price. This dress is by an Australian vintage reproduction brand called Retrospec'd http://retrospecd.com/
This dress is called the Bella Butterfly.
I currently own five dresses from this brand and is now one of my favorite vintage reproduction brands. As well as dresses Retrospec'd also sell skirts, tops, pants, shorts, petticoats, shoes and pyjamas plus some menswear.
I love the print on this dress with the butterflies and floral design on the blue/turquoise 100% cotton twill fabric. This dress has short capped sleeves, a ruffled bust line and a zip up the back to get in and out off.. On the Retrospec'd website the Bella dresses are not suitable for ladies with a larger bust line. So that means this dress is perfect for me!
I accessorize this dress with a pair of white peep-toe flats from Target Australia.
My new to me Pinup Couture purple wicker handbag, which I absolutely love!
Butterfly hair-clips and bangles from a local accessories boutique.
I also wore a petticoat from Lindybop other the dress.
From this weekend I'm on holidays for a week...yay!! I'm planning on catching up with friends, attending a baby shower, having a couple of photo-shoots, meeting up with another vintage blogger friend, celebrating my birthday, my Mum's birthday, my niece/nephew birthdays and taking blog photos with my pinup friend and vintage blogger Miss Vera Gin Vintage. So expect some awesome upcoming blog posts!
Until next time!
