The Crystal Cocktail Dress

Do you ever get so excited when you see a dress online and you know it has to be yours?

That was me with the Crystal dress by Tatyana.

I mean just look at her...

With a scooped neckline, full skirt and the most adorable embroidered flower detail, 

this dress breathes elegance. 

 She is made from the softest cotton blend and is fully lined.

What I love about the crystal is it also comes with a built in tulle slip to give the dress amazing shape and the option to go with or without a petticoat.

 The adorable scooped neckline at the front of the dress is beautifully complimented with a low angled back, giving the crystal a modest sexiness, and with the assistance of the belt bringing in the waist, the crystal gives you the silhouette even Betty Draper would crave!

Having tried on Tatyana designs before I was aware that there sizes run a bit big, usually Im a small in other designs (and the size chart refers me to a small) but for the crystal I went for the X-Small and  thankfully it fits perfectly!

Honor Thy Hell Bunny

When I first saw the Honor Dress, I honestly didn't think it would suit me at all.

(as I don't usually suit big collared necklines) 

But i thought 'what the heck, ill give it a go'...

Boy was I surprised! 

Instantly falling in love with this design, I just felt it oozed elegance and hallelujah... the neckline actually looked good!!

 The Honor dress comes with the black belt which fantastically breaks up the pattern drawing the eye to the waist and when pairing this dress with non other than the Hell Bunny petticoat, it creates   shape and the perfect 1950's silhouette.

I keep this look really simple, I stumbled across the long sleeve gloves at a vintage store an decided to let my red lips be the splash of colour. 

Seriously.. how perfect is this dress?!

(This is a web image as I wanted to show you the full clear image of the dress)

I love shooting with Em, she is a professional but we have so much fun together and a lot of laughs. 
She was kind enough to round up a heap of vintage cars for the day and was my first time shooting with cars.. I was a bit nervous to touch them haha

As you can tell (by my hair colour) this shoot was a couple of months ago, due to having to take time away for family reason I never got to post them, so I wanted to share them with you now :) 


I hope you have enjoyed this post!
Any questions or just want to say hi please comment or email me at betteboom@gmail.com
