The
title is pretty apt as this dress was found in the dredges of my wardrobe when
I was packing all those months ago, but also because of the colour. The reason
why I didn't wear this gem until now was because there was a hideous net-type
thingy underneath the lining and I didn't know how to cut it out
without
ruining it. I thought about selling it but I still really loved the dress so
grabbed my scissors and started cutting, and thankfully there was no damage
whatsoever.

You're
not really able to tell in the pictures but this dress is shorter than I'd
normally wear as I never used to be a fan of things above the knee; one because
I'm a 40s/50s vixen so the dresses I normally wear fit with that era, and two,
because climbing stairs and having everyone see everything isn't my idea of a
good time. Having said that, I've found that as I've gotten older my hem lines are
getting slightly shorter and I think this is also to do with having a better
relationship with my body in general. I just feel more confident and find
myself caring less and less about what I'm not "supposed" to show,
but instead just wearing whatever the heck I want. I've never felt more
comfortable in my skin.
I
love the print as it reminds me of the ocean (I will forever be a mermaid
living on land). The dress is well fitted at the top and the skirt has a lovely
fullness to it which allows the vintage girl in me to smile. A great dress
that'll look fab with chunky boots and thick tights - a girl needs variety!
'til
next time.
Love
and hugs,
