This dress arrived a few weeks before Christmas and it just made sense to wear it on Christmas Day with some red and white accessories. I love the ivy embroidery around the neckline and cuffs. Unfortunately it was a bit too big for me so since wearing this dress, I have actually sold it to someone else. I have been quite ruthless in the last few months with some of my vintage items, ones that I know I am unlikely to wear again for whatever reason, I will try to sell on.
I am also wearing two petticoats with this dress! A very full reproduction one with my less full vintage one on top. I normally only wear the vintage one so it was very strange wearing such a full petticoat, I felt like I was going to knock things over wherever I went.
I am also wearing my new poinsettia hair clip from Rosie Alia Designs on Etsy, she has some great hair accessories in her shop.
Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year :)

I can't even find the words to describe how much I madly adore this beautiful green dress. It's elegant, fun, creative, gorgeous, classic and just as festive as festive can be. What a perfect Christmas frock!!!

Thanks Jessica, hope you have a great 2015! :)
DeleteWhat a beautiful dress! It's really too bad it was too big for you, because it looks lovely on you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I am *slightly* regretting selling it but it really was too big on the waist so it needed to go!
DeleteThe perfect christmas dress, the red accessory makes it even more christmasy!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I love green and red together! :)
DeleteI like this dress - the colour suits you and the embriodery gives a nice finishing touch. You would never guess from the photos that it is too big for you!
ReplyDeleteI made a mistake with a dress I bought in a charity shop recently which was a size too big - but in my defence it had an incorrect label. I might do a post on it shortly just for fun - bit I donated it back so that the charity can benefit twice from it!
Thanks, it was ok with the belt but then because it was quite a thick material, the hem became uneven!
DeleteThis dress is divine, that lace is swoon worthy! You look adorable in it, even if it was too big!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bianca :)
Deletehappy new year!
ReplyDeletethe green dress is amazing. the colour looks perfect on you!
... since my 'everyday' pettycoat got a little worn out and got missing some volume i played around with 'new' vintage ones and wearing old ones in layers ... so i know how it feels to feel like knocking over things ... ;)
I know, it's funny isn't it?! My vintage one isn't very full which is how I like it most of the time but sometimes you just need that super full 50s silhouette! Hope you have a great 2015 :)
DeleteThis is a beautiful Christmas outfit, such a glorious colour and I like the two petticoat effect. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteThank you, hope you have a great year :)
DeleteBeautiful. Green is my favourite colour, too. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda, I need more dresses in this colour!
