For this blog post, I'm featuring these two gorgeous dresses by UK vintage inspired company British Retro
This company sells dresses, skirts, shorts, petticoats, t-shirts, coats and accessories. All of their garments are made in London, UK.
It's made out of a 67% polyester, 29% viscose and 4% elastane. So it does have some stretch to it. Sizes range from 8 to 18, I'm wearing a size 16 and it fits perfectly on me and is very comfortable to wear throughout the day.
I just love the tartan print and that it comes with a matching tartan belt, it can be worn without a belt as there are actually no loops on this dress. I personally prefer to wear a belt with dresses, as it clenches in the waist and gives the dress more shape and structure.
I decided to purchase this dress, as I have never actually owned a tartan vintage inspired dress and I just adored the look and style of this one!
Accessories Include:
Hat is thrifted
Earrings by Revere folie
Necklace is by Collectif
Brooch by Louella Deville
Bangles by Splendette
Heels by Bait Footwear
It's made from 51% cotton, 46% polyester, 3% spandex. Sizes range from 8 to 18, there is only a couple of sizes left though as this dress is currently on sale for a really great price. I'm wearing a size 16 and it fits like a glove on me.
I only own a handful of wiggle/pencil style dress due to the fact they do show off all your curves, bumps and lumps, more so then swing dresses do. Saying that I just love how elegant and sexy you can feel and look in wearing a wiggle dress! That's why I decided to purchase this wiggle dress and I also adore the Fern green colour and the same colour floral print. I didn't want to wear all green though for this photoshoot, that's why I decided to accessorize with pink, as pink and green do work well together!
Other great features of this dress is the vent at the back of the skirt to allow for easier walking and the Bardot style neckline and angled short sleeves, the same as in the above tartan dress by British Retro.
It also has a concealed zip at the back and the bodice is satin lined. I highly recommend on ordering yourself something beautiful, from British Retro!
Accessories Include:
Dusty Pink Hat is from Unique Vintage
Bangles and Earrings by Splendette
Hair-flower by Gigis Retro Closet (currently changing business name)
Brooch by Erstwilder
Seamed stockings by What Katie Did
Heels from Bait Footwear
These photos of myself in the tartan dress was taken at a local primary school in Maryborough, Queensland. The second photos of myself in the green wiggle dress we're taken at a friends home with their beautiful 1947 Buik vintage car. I'm ever so thankful they allowed me to take photos with their car and at their beautiful Queenslander home for my blog!
Photos we're shoot by my supportive husband-to-be. :)
For my next blog post I'll be featuring two dresses by another UK vintage inspired clothing company Love ur Look UK
Until next time!
