Recently I asked Kristen from
Dickybird Dresses to custom-make me a dress. I wanted a summer vintage style dress, with buttons down the back and thin-straps to tie up on the shoulders. After a few messages back and forward to each other, regarding exactly what I wanted, the fabric print and giving Kristen my measurements, this is the end result! I'm very happy with this dress I love the purple floral print and the purple trim on the waist, neck-line, shoulders and pockets. The back has tiny white buttons and a small zipper at the end to get in and out of. I do require someone to help me with doing up the back buttons though. This beautiful print is vintage up-cycled cotton fabric. I wore a white petticoat under this dress to give it more structure and shape.
I have previously blogged another dress by

Kristen and her business
Dickybird Dresses are located in
Queensland, Australia. I love how she custom makes garments from vintage and up-circled fabrics, it's such a great idea to give a frock a more of a vintage touch to it and to have something that is unique one off design. I highly recommend on ordering a dress from
Dickybird Dresses, as Kristen is very prompt at answering messages and creating a special piece just for you! I have received wonderful service from her on both occasions and I hope to have something made for me again in the near future!

This week's blog photos were taken out in backyard garden. A long side the purple Geisha Girl and the lavender crepe myrtle. I knew this backdrop would look lovely with this gorgeous dress!
In other news I'm now on a week's leave from work. Thursday morning Mum, my sister and myself fly out from Brisbane, Queensland down to Melbourne, Victoria for a few days. We're staying in
Ballarat, Victoria, I'm wanting to attend a rockabilly festival there called
Ballarat Beat, also we want to check out some vintage shops. I also hope to take some blog photos as well.
I'm half-way packed, I just need to pack my makeup and toiletries in my suitcase.
Next week I'll let you know how the festival/holiday went!
Until next time!
