Hi everyone!
How's you're week been going? I went back to work on Tuesday, after having a lovely week of and spending time with my husband. What are you're plans for this coming weekend? At this stage I don't have any plans for the weekend, just playing it by ear and see what the weekend brings.
For this blog post I'm reviewing this beautiful dress by UK vintage inspired clothing company Pretty Retro It's called retro 50's swing dress in emerald.
I actually ordered this dress through Australian clothing company That Shop I was able to purchase this dress by using Afterpay. Sizing ranges from 8 to 18 and there are still many sizes left to purchase from, through That Shop. The Pretty Retro website, currently has sizes 8 to 14 left. I'm wearing a size 16 and it fits comfortably on my body.
If green is not you're colour, there are other colourways to choose from in this exact dress, there is currently a navy, red and a wine colour.
You could easily style this dress either early 1950's or late 1940's.
There is a hidden back zip to get in and out of. I adore the petal cap sleeves, plus they are not restricting or tight on my bigger size arms. I also love the V-shape neckline and the pleated bustline. You could easily wear a petticoat underneath the swing skirt for a more 1950's feel, I personally will probably style this dress more to the 1940's look.
The fabric is 78% polyester, 18% viscose and 3% spandex.
Accessories Include:
Green Boater Hat from Morgan and Taylor
Carebear Brooch by Erstwilder
Earrings and Bangles by Splendette
Handbag by Vendula London
Flats by Charlie Stone Shoes
These photos for my blog we're shoot by my darling husband at a vineyard and café in Childers in Queensland. The place is called Vintners Secret Vinyard As well as a vineyard, it's also a restaurant, a gift shop and a wedding venue. It also has some lovely gardens and quirky display's to look at and admire. My husband and I never tried any of the wines or food, hopefully next time we get a chance to visit we will!
Until next time!
