The Dolores Garden Half Sleeve Dress

Just when I thought the 'Dolores' couldn't get any better..

they bring out the half sleeve style!!

Collectif have truly outdone themselves with this one.

Seriously, look at that print... Pretty, delicate and incredibly feminine!

This dress is certainly going to turn some heads on the street.

 The Garden Dolores is super comfortable, made from 97%cotton and 3% spandex it offers a small amount of stretch, to sculpt around those womanly curves.

The sleeves are designed to fit your arms with comfort in mind and offers great movement.

And if your like me and are 'arm conscious' this dress is perfect for you!!! 

Being a cotton dress, even with the sleeves, this dress is going to be perfect for the warmer months. The material isn't too thick and the cotton breathes easily.

As always the Dolores runs true to size and comes in sizes 6-22.

Im a size 8 and the Dolores 8 fits like it was made for me!

Seriously feeling the MadMen vibes with these curves.

Heres the link to the collective site for size measurements:

 This dress can also be styled in soooooo many ways.

Belts, jewellery, cardigans, coats and even layering a skirt over top and wearing it as a top.

The possibility are endless!!

 For my hair I did wet set pincurls, brushed out and set with wave clips and ALOT of hairspray, pretty impressed with the shape at the back :)

I purchased my Dolores Garden Dress from Misconduct for AU$120

Hello Miss Monica

The Monica Dress By Pinup Girl Clothing

 Lets all just take a moment.. 

To marvel at the utter brilliance that is this dress!

I have been drooling over the Monica for over a year now, wanting it in every amazing colour it has been released in (of course) but had never had the occasion to actually buy it.

So when we started planning our engagement party I knew that this was the dress!

Never having owned, let alone even tried on The Monica, I'd heard raving reviews from everyone who did. So with their knowledge and admiration for the dress I took a chance..

and when my FedEx package arrived (surprisingly quick too) I was head over heels in love.!

 Wearing Earrings from Lovisa

 Literally hugging your curves, The Monica moulds to the body with ease.

I bought the size small and whilst it is a squeeze to get on (i simply step into the dress and pull up..seemed a bit harder over the head) its surprisingly extremely comfortable.

Wearing it all night at our engagement party, I had no problems at all with the dress..

 well except trying to tell my sisters/cousins "no" to when they asked if they could please try it on. 

Admiring the Monica for so long there was several things I noticed when I first tried it on. First of all there was the side zip, for some silly reason I thought the dress was stretchy enough that it just slipped on. But the side zip is one of the key elements of the unique design, an invisible zip which sits right in with the touching of the dress, almost unnoticeable unless you lift you arm (as I did in the picture below).

Also there is an amazing lining in the bodice, 

which is a firmer material to really pull you in and 

help create that marilyn-like hourglass shape. 

Again it was something I didn't expect..but now I wish all my wiggle dresses had this feature!

 All photographs were taking by my amazing cousin Clair in Morpeth NSW.

The Monica comes in sizes XS-4XL and is one of those amazing dresses that truly does suit every shape and size, its like every single Monica is sewn with a little bit of PUG magic to make every one wearing it look like a screen siren.

Pinup Girl have created an Iconic dress and every women needs to own at least one Monica.. or two, or five!

The Monica comes in 13 different colours and they are all so perfect.

Wicked Wendy By Glamour Bunny

Glamour Bunny

If you haven’t heard the name before, listen up.!!

A UK clothing company that produces tailored 1950s inspired designs.

 They create some of the sexiest dresses I have ever laid eyes on, that flatter the body and make women look and feel like a million dollars.

As a  long admirer of Glamour Bunny I decided to treat myself after Christmas. 

The problem then was… which outfit do I choose?! 

So after much deliberation and careful assessment 

(its seriously so hard to pick just one!)

 I decided to go with one of their stunning dresses.

I came across the Wicked Wendy in Lilac and instantly fell in love with the colour!

Then…. I saw the picture of Gia Genevieve wearing it. (See Below)

Yep..SOLD..!!!!!!

Gia Genevieve

Although i don’t quite fill out the dress as perfectly as Gia (seriously, she is just stunning).

 The Wicked Wendy absolutely fits like it was made for me.

What I truly love about this dress is the fact that its simple and elegant, some vintage inspired dresses can really be over done. 

Being so incredibly happy with the dress I had to.. (like a crazy woman),

 instantly email GB and tell them how happy I was with my new dress. 

Ive never been so happy with a online purchase like this before and definitely see why they have an excellent reputation.
