This dress by Berniedexter.com is the bestest dress I have ever had the pleasure of wearing. Ever. Look at it, it's gorgeous! I call it my happy dress as how can anyone ever be in a bad mood wearing a dress like this?
Everytime I wear it I get a plethera of people telling me it's beautiful, so it boosts my ego and that's all good.
There is actually no red in this dress, but I put red into every outfit I put on and red seems to bring out the flowers nice in this one.
Bernie Dexter is one of the most recognised modern pinup models and she, like the rest of us, finds it hard to source vintage outfits so she now makes her own. Each piece has a limited run and once they are sold, they are gone!
She has just released another 'Landscape' Blaize dress which I have promptly snatched up, along with a couple of other things...but that's another story, and one that we won't tell the husband.
Dress: Landscape dress by Bernie Dexter
Shoes: Naughty Monkey, Highpoint Shopping Centre
Belt: Vintage repo from eBay
Satin Bolero: Seven Angels, Bendigo
Petticoat: Any 19" fluffly white crinoline petticoat will suit this dress.

ReplyDeleteI am a Bernie Dexter JUNKIE. See me in her red bettina dress on her website (I think it is the first picture she has up right now). I am totally addicted to BERNIE FASHION. You should try the Bettina dress... it fits nice and has built in boobie support for us busty gals. :)

ReplyDeleteThat has got to be the prettiest spring dress ever! Love it! ;)
ReplyDeleteWish I had a picture of my favorite dress, but it's 19th century/Regency inspired.
Then I got this other cute dress which I haven't worn yet since I got it when it was getting a bit too cold to wear it. It's not for sale anywhere any more, it was part of this vintage inspired collection by a Swedish clothing brand called Kappahl. It's the dress at the very bottom(it's even prettier in person):

I've never heard of Bernie Dexter. This is really gorgeous! You look fantastic. Such a pretty feminine dress. Your hair and makeup looks wonderful also. You can be a pin up girl yourself.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely dress! From the dresses I own (which isn't a lot, I don't have that much to spend) my favourite one is this dress: www.hotrockinbelle.com/featured/hell-bunny-gingham-50-s-dress.html
ReplyDeleteI'm loving Hell Bunny dresses, they're really quite affordable (even for me) and I love all the designs. Still need to get myself a petticoat to go with this dress though, but I'm hoping I'll get one for my birthday. :)
Wow, thanks Kimmer K. That's so nice of you and I am really touched and embarrassed to read it!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great dress Ilse! I have one almost similar by Hell Bunny but it's black with red polkadots.
This is an amazing dress of your. You are looking like a cute princess in this dress.
