I got this pretty new dress on Ebay the other day. I have plans to completely alter it as I love the full skirt and the pretty print, but the top of the dress is horrible. In the pics I’m hiding it under a wool cardigan. I am wearing the dress with my red petticoat which I love but hardly get the chance to wear. I wearing a 1950’s brooch and pearls which were a gift from my Grandma and my shoes were a bargain from the New Look Sale. My hair is far too long for this look but I keep putting off getting it cut!
Vintage Dress – Ebay – £9.99
Petticoat – Ebay – £10.50
Cardigan – Banana Republic – £45
Jewellery – Grandma’s
Shoes – New Look – £5
Please excuse my garden in the pics, we only moved to this house last year and haven’t touched outside yet!

February 16, 2013 at 11:08 amThanks! I was loving the bright colours! I’m working on plans for the top half, I’m going to look at some 1950s patterns and get some ideas from them.
