I straight away sent a message to Dazey LaRue's etsy store, asking her if she could custom make me this gorgeous skirt to feature on my blog!
Dazey LaRue designs and sells custom tops, skirts and dresses from genuine vintage patterns. Plus she specializes in novelty prints, border print fashions and custom orders. Dazey is located in San Francisco, USA.
The retro Barbie skirt is made from a light cotton and is gathered, from the waist and it has a zip with button closure. I just adore this retro barbie print and the colours so much. A little background info on me when I was a young girl, I would play with my Barbie dolls for hours on end, either on my own or with my cousin and I/we would make up all sorts of stories with our Barbie's.
This top is made from a light weight 90% cotton and 10% spandex. It has an elastic neckline, that allows for on/off the shoulder wear. The back of the bodice is also elasticized to allow for a custom fit and to get on and off, as there is no zipper in these tops. Only tiny downside for me, is the armholes felt a little tight up under my arms. Sizes range from small to 3XL and price is $24.99 (US). I also ordered an orange peasant top from Le Bomb Shop.
Black flats from Payless Australia
Barbie brooch from Deer Arrow
White hoop earrings from Revere Folie
Bangles and hair-scarf are thrifted
Wide retro belt from Pinup Girl Clothing
I'm really looking forward to when it does open, as from what I saw that was actually done at the time, these photos were taken a few weeks ago, it's going to be so awesome! I just hope the local people support the diner and keep it up and running!
Apart from that I'm on the countdown to Christmas and spending some time with the family and having a few days off from work.
Until next time!
