There are a couple of things that dresses really need and rarely have: pockets and collars. The slightly sailor-inspired collar on this dress made it irresistible to me. The pattern on this dress is also pretty special and goes so well with my newest coat.

vintage dress
Welcome to my little blog that blends a bit of nature, fashion, wanderings, and books in this dusty corner of the Internet. I hope you find it a moment of quiet in the wild today.
Lovely outfit!
ReplyDelete*gasp* Wow and wow the dress alone is brilliant, and how it compliments the coat deserves another wow. They are made for each other!
ReplyDeleteI am ALL ABOUT pockets in dresses. Skirts, too. Makes me wonder how I managed without them, so I'm glad they've started getting more common.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely everything should have pockets! And that's a very sweeet collar!
ReplyDeleteIncredible jacket!!

oh my word. that is the CUTEST dress. love everything about it- the shape is perfect, what what an adorable print!
ReplyDeleteI can't be more agree about the pockets. Being a girl who wears dresses at least 4 times a week, that's the only think I miss on them & probably the main reason why I wear trousers some days. PS. I really like the pattern mix & blue looks so good with your red hair.
ReplyDeleteI also will have a patterned dress with pockets and collar in my next collection AW12/13... I think you will love it!!! ;-)

@ronni, I'm ok with being "pinned" as long as my blog name is listed and they link back. I definitely want credit, as I take my own photographs and it's rather a labor of love to run back and forth for a self-timer (especially on winter days). :)
