A while back I was browsing the lovely Strawberry Koi's blog, and she was doing a feature on the equally lovely Alisha from Roseate Spoonbill. And in that feature Alisha was wearing the gorgeous vintage pink dress above. I left a comment that day saying "I want that dress!" And you know what? Alisha emailed me and said she didn't wear it anymore and she'd be happy to send it to me for free!! Well, I did a little dance and screamed and then tried to act all casual about it like I didn't just run around my room like a crazy person and accepted the offer.I was so excited yesterday to find the package on my front porch! Friends, this dress is tiny! The waist is 24 inches so let's just say I'm sucking it in big time. However, isn't there a rule that when you're clothed in vintage pink loveliness you don't require the standard amount of oxygen? I think it's a rule...but it's so pretty. And I love it. And, Alisha, I thank you with all my heart!
Oh, that is absolutely amazing! I WANT ONE TOO! I actually have one in a similar model, but it's red with white polka-dots on. I really love pink though, and it looks very beautiful on you! Is the dress actually vintage, or is it a reproduction?
ReplyDeleteJenny, it is handmade vintage!
ReplyDeleteThat is one super awesome dress! And what a great coincidence that you got it for free :D People are so nice!
ReplyDeleteOMG- it looks great on you! I love it and I am not a big fan of pink. What a wonderful gift!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is stunning and you look lovely in it! Speaking of vintage clothing and oxygen, isnt that the theory of tight corsetry? If you look beautiful, who needs to breathe? Just kidding:)
ReplyDeleteOh, that is stunning! And how amazingly sweet of her to give it to you! You look so so beautiful in it. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible dress! And you look fabulous in it!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo...if I say I want that dress, you'll send it to me! Ha Ha!
ReplyDeleteSo cute on you...can yo believe how tiny those vintage waistlines are...crazy!
lol, KaraHaus!
ReplyDeleteThat is one very awesome dress and it looks amazing on you! Yep, that is the rule...I'm sure of it!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazingly sweet!
ReplyDeleteTalk about your good luck! Definitely a rule.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet :) I'm just amazed at all of the kind and wonderful things people are doing for one another these days. The pink dress is so cute on you (sucking in and all) and lol @ "isn't there a rule that when you're clothed in vintage pink loveliness you don't require the standard amount of oxygen" ha ha ha! Perfect and so so true!
ReplyDeleteLUCKY!!
ReplyDeleteOf course, even sucking in I wouldn't fit into a 24 inch waist!.....Maybe I'm excused having just had a baby, but still....and am I still babbling...yes... sorry...you look gorgeous, by the way!
A 24" waist! You don't look like you're sucking in too much, you look wonderful in that dress! Alisha's real nice and generous, i love the vintage ladies blogging community so much :)
ReplyDeleteAdorable! You look so pretty in it! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd for some odd reason I just now realized that I was not following your blog?! How is that even possible?! Must be just because I always know to go to ponderandstitch.blogspot.com. hehe. Oh well, it's fixed now! ;)
That dress looks amazing on you pretty lady! And oh my goodness you are the tiniest if you squeeze in to a 24" waist!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got it!!
