Le Bomb Outfits

I have purchased quite a few dresses from Le Bomb over the past year. Melissa sources pinup repo styles but with a very affordable pricetag. If you wanted to try Pinup before fully committing, then one of her dresses are ideal as most Vintage reproduction items are over the $100 price mark...at least.  She also spends hours sourcing matching accessories to list with her items, and each outifit is gorgeous. 



I really like these mini full circle dress styles and am featuring 2 of them. This one is in the blue roses and I wanted to try it with my new blue frilly petticoat. I am now way too old for mini dresses, so I prefer to wear these with my petticoats showing as a feature. If you are young with the legs of a gazelle, then you could go for a mini tulle crinoline.


Doesn't my garden look spectacular? It's not even Spring yet!



Read the listings and measurements carefully, as all Le Bomb clothing is on the small Miss side. I have sold more than kept due to them being way too small in the bust area. The largest sizing is also Large, and it is a small Large.

Dresses: Le Bomb Shop eBay
Shoes: Miss L. Fire
Stockings: Black fishnets
Hair Flowers: Dynamite-Darlin eBay
Cardi: 1950's cropped in black


This is on my wishlist but I keep missing out on my size. I have just spied that the L is now back in stock.....if only I wasn't on a no buy at the moment!!

Another tip: Melissa has regular Facebook fan specials and the discounts are generous, so it may pay to 'like' her page.

Let me know if you end up buying anything!

    I particularly like the one with the flowers on a black ground and the white petticoat. Too bad I don't have the pinup figure, I love the looks :/

    I LOVE her shop! My very first online purchase way back in the day was from her! (I think her shop was called Bombshell Vintage then) :) It was a black dress with tie-straps that reminded me of something Elizabeth Taylor wore in Suddenly, Last Summer. It's still one of my favorites :D

    You look like a real glamour puss! Love the dress and the petticoats. You were made for this style. Hope you can get the other dress with the roses. It's gorgeous.

    I hate that all the dresses are shown on mannequins, its had to see the real shape of the dress :( Do you think the dresses are ok for busty girls?
