Vintage Style Sailor Dress with Oversized Collar


Hello all!
I must admit I was ridiculously excited to receive a long-awaited parcel, knowing what it contained, from a vintage clothing company from America, Blue Velvet Vintage. If you're a fan of Gossip Girl, you might recognise it as that sailor dress worn by Blair Waldorf. The brand of that dress is Bettie Paige, as confirmed by the costume director of the show - although Blair's version was shortened. I worship at the alter of the show's stylist Eric Daman, I've always said I could watch that programme on mute purely for the styling. In regards to the quality of the dress itself, its perfect. I can't give it anything other than top marks for its quality, uniqueness and flattering cut. I couldn't be happier with it. I'm also considering having it shortened to just above the knee to make it more daytime appropriate, but my mother insists it'll ruin the 'silhouette' - what do you think?

Vintage Ruched Shoulder 'Betty D' Dress / Chanel Earrings


Hello all!
I can truly say I have never been so happy with an online purchase; nicknamed the 'Betty D' dress after 60's siren Betty Draper from Mad Men, I couldn't be more delighted to add this vintage piece from 'Girl Stole' to my wardrobe. I'm usually sceptical about vintage dresses and never bother even trying them on, so buying one online was quite a leap. So, when I saw the measurements of this dress 'waist: 24inches' (my measurement!) I basically became a seagull from Finding Nemo. Mine... mineminemine. I honestly think this dress is so beautiful that if I'd seen it on a stranger and they'd told me it was vintage Chanel, I would have believed them without a doubt.
