D.I.M.D.I – Bustle hips
Having been asked by the lovely Hannah to talk about the dress above from yesterdays post, of course I had to oblige! Trouble is when I wore it last week the battery on my camera ran out. Damos!!…was gutted as there really are so many details I could have photogrpahed and picked up on. Oh well, Tim took a few pictures for me at The shop so hopefully we’ll get a sense of how great this dress really is.
{vintage fur coat, gifted skirt and blk longsleeve, chazzer shazzer reworked dress, mytights.com tights, m&s stockings and suspenders, anthropologie booties}
I found her a good couple of years ago in a Chazzer Shazzer and I had to scrape my pennies together to make her mine. Not that she was expensive but, at the time, I simply didn’t have enough money…I knew though….Down in my wine filled waters I just knew if I didn’t buy her I’d regret it. Long sleeved dresses are a rariety in my wardrobe and so when I come across one that I know I won’t have to layer with cardigans or jackets to keep warm I will bag that bargain. I loved the stripe, the deep pockets but the main feature for me was the shoulders and the cute button detail.
Originally it had a full skirt but I felt it needed a little intaking. Channeling Ms. Westwood I scooped off those corners and gave myself 17th century grand, bustly hips. A large gap {Ohhh ‘allo!} at the front means I always have to wear either a petticoat underneath or in this case a gifted little lace trimmed skirt – from the lovely Hannah!
Also in this weather a little extra warmth for the legs was needed….
Marks and Sparks wool stockings over neon orange tights? What more does a girl need…
