Dress: Pinup Girl Clothing
Belt: Torrid
Shoes: Zu Shoes
I did end up getting this Pinup Girl Clothing dress hemmed a little shorter from its original mid-calf length. I like it – it’s not quite as over-the-top as it was, but its still long enough to wear my pink Domino Dollhouse petticoat with.
A few of you did ask how the dress looked sans petticoat, so here it is:
Not THAT much difference, actually. I wore it like this during the day, but then came home in the evening and donned the petticoat for a work book launch I was attending for Phillipa “Queen of Desserts” Sibley‘s first book P.S. Desserts.
toooo cute! I need to find shoes and a cute belt like these
The new length is MUCH better and probably will be more wearable now.
Much better hemmed, though I think it looks better without the petticoat. More flattering on the hips. As usual, you always have the cutest shoes.
I didn’t think I would but I prefer it this length – it suits you much better. Its still that 50s/60s length but as you said not so OTT.
Speaking of 50s/60s fashion – have you seen the film The Help? The costumes in it are AMAZING! Its a shame the story isn’t as powerful as the book.
I really need to get back on the blog wagon – I’ve kinda lost my blogging mojo and the dark nights aren’t helping matter.
This dress is so fab! I love it on you!

And the new length is far more wearable, I think!

Lilli, I like this dress with and without the petticoat. There isn’t much difference, like you mention, but I feel it does have a little more “oomph” with it. The floral pattern is just lovely and the belt is the perfect complement. You look, as always, beautiful!
Love the dress but how is her book????????
The new length looks perfect. Very flattering & very wearable. You look fab!
The new length is perfect! Did you end up taking it in at the bodice/bust? I seem to recall that it was a little loose at the top but it looks gorgeous on you. I think this will be my next PUG purchase hehe.
Love the belt too!
A much more wearable length I think, it’s more beautiful and less loud. I’m so glad you found someone to go in with on the Torrid shipping because that belt is the BEST! x
Yes, but I bet it FLOUNCES in a lovely way with the petticoat. It looks a lot less different than I thought it would, but I bet you notice it more when you move. And the new length looks fantastic. You have great clothing instincts!
Gorgeous
OMG. This dress is perfect!!!
