My new 40s dress.

standing

I wore this vintage dress from the 40s yesterday - one I recently won on ebay. I think it's so pretty with the lace collar and the lace on the sleeves.

It is pretty and for some reason you look like Cinderella to me. I think it's blonde hair and blue colour.
I am afraid you will have tough times ironing this dress ;)

SeaShells said...

couldnt agree more..(ang a symetriske kjoler)hvis det er et godt plagg med flate sandaler om dagen.. høye sko om natten så vil det nok vekke positiv opmerksomhet.Det beste er lyse farger for det gjør en søt;)
Søt kjole.romantisk

How is it possible for you to have the perfect shoes for such a perfect dress? Usually it is one or the other.
You are a one-of-a-kind kinda chick I suppose!
