There’s something so wonderful and feminine about swishing about in a full skirted frock, ad when you throw a petticoat into the mix it makes a pretty dress into something really spectacular.
I bought the petticoat from Domino Dollhouse, and it’s one of those lovely soft ones, rather than the stiff numbers I’ve seen in the shops here in Melbourne.
I was concerned that it might catch against my pantihose and ride up, but I haven’t had that problem at all.
It fits comfortably, and is available in a range of colours – I thought I’d go with the pink, because, well… pink.
All day people were saying what a nice dress I was wearing – which it is, of course – but I think that the petticoat really “makes” it; the full circle skirt was MADE to be worn with tulle.
What a beautiful Dress it reminds of something Grace Kelly would wear in a Hitchcock Movie very Elegant.
Totally agree, the petticoat makes the skirt go from great (because really the dress is obviously adorable and would be as-is) to supergreat!
You are a VISION in that dress, lady!
That clinches it. I need a petticoat.
I have to be honest. Most of my wish list items are pulled directly from your site. I saw the eShakti Migratory Bird dress on here, and immediately bought it, because I apparently have no willpower. =P Thanks for all the ideas!
Gorgeous!! I might have to invest in one of those petticoats now!
Love the dress, but I think the pearls are what really set it off as a magnificent outfit! They look like they are either Vintage or Mimco!

You look so beautiful in this amazing dress. I want that dress with all my heart. What is the name of the dress so i can order it?
Amazing! Classic and fun! Bravo!
Hi there,
I LOVE love LOVE your blog, and I really like this dress. I have been looking for a bridesmaid dress, and I feel like this is my winner. However, it seems like Leah May has closed shop. I was wondering if you have her email address or any other information on the dress… like what it was called:)
Thanks for your help!
Hi Jen,
I’m so sorry, but Leah-May’s moved to the UK, so the numbers I have for her aren’t correct anymore.
These guys do something pretty similar though, and not too expensive:

You could ask them to put cap sleeves in instead?
