A Crossing Of Threads In The Fabric Of Fate

32 Comments Edit

Sometimes you put on a dress and it just feels so perfect, as if was made for you. This special feeling is even more intense when the dress is vintage. What trick of fate brought a dress in exactly your measurements to your doorstep after dozens of years existing elsewhere, worn by others? Fate had a little help from my lovely sponsor, The Attic People, but the sentiment remains the same. I don't own any other dresses with such high necklines and peplum shapes, but I am pleasantly surprised by the way this looks on. Come fall this dress will also look sweet layered with burgundy tights and my favorite coats.

    You look so sweet and cute in those type of dresses. They don't suit me but that looks great on you.

    I gasped when I saw this! You look so adorable! And I definitely understand that feeling - and oh so especially in vintage. So true.

    You look very pretty in that dress! However I'm not too sure if I could wear this kind of dress because of the high neckline.

    Cute pics! I really like the shoes. Its kind of a babydoll look mixed with goth, very nice.

    That dress is gorgeous and so different. I can relate, the feeling of putting on a dress that feels like it is made for you is magical.

    So glad you chose this dress you look adorable. It suits you to a tee. And like you said winter styling will be super cute too.
    I usually find vintage clothes fit me better than modern clothing, You just have to search a bit more :)

    This is beautiful! First I thought it#s not a dress but a skirt and matching jacket. It's incredibly pretty eitherway ;)

    I love that dress!! It looks so Victorian but with such modern appeal! The front of the dress going straight up to the collar is so delicate looking and the collar very much makes your neck look longer. I hope you wear that dress more often. Burgundy tights would go well with it but would you consider wearing white tights with it?
