I actually wore this outfit yesterday to visit my nan and she commented on how nice it was. I'm sure this dress won't be to everyones taste but i love it !!
The dress came from eBay for the bargain price of £3.50, its a size 24 which is a little to big for me but it buttons all the way up without gaping so yey!
The dress had a label in it for Changes i did a quick google search and it seems this is a brand offered by Marisota, it does seem to be aimed at the older end of the scale but that doesn't mean there won't be something you'll love. I sometimes find vintage dresses in my size and style hard to find and although this isn't vintage i think it does have a old feel to it, so it goes to show you can achieve a vintage style even if you can't find vintage in your size or style.
The dress came with back ties but as its a bit too big for me so i added a belt from another dress. The material of the dress is quite thin which will be great for the summer and it has a lovely floral print on it.
I wore the dress with Primark shoes and headband and a brooch I've had for a while that was from ebay like the dress.
The hubby was looking very handsome so i had to take his picture too!
I love this dress and i felt great in it, how do you feel about granny chic?
XOXO

ReplyDeleteI am definitely check them out. I adore that dress
They have lots of stuff some like this dress other bits that are more on trend a bit if everything really xx
DeleteThe dress is really pretty, the colours remind me of autumn. Your hubs is very dapper! One of the things I most admire in people is the ability to be themselves, even if it's not a popular style. You rock the granny look. I have the habits of a granny - I'm a homebody, and I love a nice cup of tea and my cosy slippers.
ReplyDeleteI hope you've had a lovely birthday. xx
The colours are lovely very autumn like I agree. He is gorgeous isn't he :) aww thank you that's lovely. I love tea but I can't do slippers they just annoy me xx
DeleteHappy Birthday! I quite like the colours of your dress i don't know if i would pull it off :S heh xx
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I love dresses like this but they always end up really expensive on eBay this was a bargain tho xx
DeleteI missed your bday....sorry how was it. Think that youre one of those people that can wear anything. Love the look but it doesnt suit me. Live my dream xx

ReplyDeleteits a great dress i could see you in it too you have a great style :) you can still get it from ebay i think xx
DeleteHappy belated birthday hun! Hope you had a lovely one!
ReplyDeleteI actually really love this dress. You look like a 1940s fashionista in it- and that's a good thing, I should say. I love the shape and your rockabilly fringe really brings the look together. C'est parfait! xx
I love granny chic! My aunt actually just brought me back an 80s-does-40s dress from Florida, and you can't tell the difference once you're all spruced up! Love your dress!
