Style me Dressific

Hello sweethearts!

Whether your style is vintage, pin up, chic, glam, punk, goth, romantic, you name it, Im sure you have at least one little black dress in your wardrobe! And since it is impossible to have too many LBD I have added one more to my closet: Striped Retro High Low Swing Dress by Dressific.


Thiss dress gave me instant Dita Von Tesse feeling! Although I am not a huge Dita fan I did gasp from time to time on her fashion choices and her Zac Posen black dress from Von Follies launch at Bloomingdales was a dream! This Dressific dress made me think of her as soon as I saw it.


Striped Retro High Low Swing Dress is made out of Polyester organza so it is very light and holds a magnificent shape. Black lining envelops the body while fluttery skirt with one hidden pocket gently falls in waves. Skirt lenght is right above my knees from the front (I am 170cm/ 5.5 tall) but in the back descends quite below.


Elegant modified V neck and cap sleeves are perfect for those who like Audrey Hepburn style dresses so this dress perfectly combines modern and classic! It holds a side zipper so it does not interfere with natural waist which I emphasized with a thick belt (not part of the dress!).


Dressific is a proudly 100% Australian owned business, with fulfillment centers located in both Australia and China. Owned by Elena Sheen who decided to marry the best of vintage and modern day fashion, Dressific's majority of  special occasion dresses can be made to measure for FREE.


A great variety of dresses that Dressific offers guarantees that you will find something for wedding, prom, evening, formal or casual in 30s to 60s style dresses.

Enchanted forest

Hello sweethearts!

The weather is beautiful, sun is shining and there is no better way than to spend a day in nature! I'm taking you to the forest where sun gently pierces trough the branches of old oaks.
Wonderful way to celebrate nature and new collaboration with one of my favorite brands Dolly & Dotty!


Delighted with my last Dolly & Dotty dress (review here) I became a huge fan of this UK brand! They have a lot of dresses that I would love to wear not only because they are pretty but also very high quality and excellent way of making them to fit! May dress was one of my favorites as soon as I saw her so imagine my happiness when it arrived!


May Stylish V-neck Vintage Inspired Swing Dress comes in a variety of colours, prints and sizes from UK 8 to 24! I was drawn by flattering V-neck wrap style bust, pretty full circle skirt and fitted waistband. My dress is a size UK12 (M) and it is true to their size chart, it also has a little strech.


Although V-neck wrap style bust may seem a little too open it is actually modest and prefect for office or Sunday walk. Dress is made out of 95% cotton and 5% elastane which gives her that special softness and lightness that Dolly & Dotty dresses have. I adore that fabric!


May is perfect lightweight piece for summer, like a summer breeze :) Dress has a swing skirt, but it's not a full circle. It can still fit a slim petticoat and it gives her a nice shape. It is fully lined to create an enviable 50’s hourglass silhouette and it comes with a suprise!

 
With matching floral belt there is also another burgundy one, that matches the gorgeous floral print of May dress. It is like having two dresses in one! Great job Dolly & Dotty I am impressed again! To use both of belts I came with the idea of putting one on my hat and I love it like that, I think it connects the whole look.
 
 
As I mentioned in my last Dolly & Dotty review I love the fit of dresses, it is always perfect! Important thing to accomplish that is the fact that the belts on dresses are not embedded so I can lift or pull the belt down as I like and it has a strip so you don't have to tuck in or pin the rest of the belt.
 
 
I hope you enjoyed this walk trough forest as much as I did...
