My new floral skirt

This is my first picture posting. Nervous? A little bit—who wouldn't be in this company of very stylish ladies...

Well, I just wanted to show the floral taffeta skirt I found the other day. It is hand made, and for some reason it has the zipper on the wrong side, but that doesn't matter; I really like the fit & feel of it!

No way! Don't be nervous, you look incredible!!! I love skirts like this, I wish I had ten of them so I could constantly be wearing one.

I love your stockings and shoes, too!

LittleMissToniJoI love that dress! The colour looks divine on you :)
Cute hair as well.

Super cute! Share details about the dress please!

Thank you!! I still haven't figured out how to get my hair into true 1940's styles... mostly it's just a curly mess :-\ The more I brush it the flatter it gets until there are no curls left!

My dress is actually (gasp) a repro! From this 30's pattern:

Thank you, MissToniJo for those sweet & encouraging words...! I also really like those shoes myself. Unfortunately they had some rather visible miscolourings when i thrifted them, so I can only use them for really informal occasions—fortunately, on the other hand they occur more often than the formal ones...!

I also want to make a comment on that blue dress you are showing—it really looks marvellous on you...! In particular I like the way the buttons match the belt.

THANK YOU!!
You have no idea how long I stalked eBay and Etsy for matching "Butterscotch Bakelite" buckles and buttons :-( It was a sick obsession of mine for a month!

^Force someone to take your picture! That's what I do.
Here's one of my best dresses. It's a debutante to my wardrobe and I wore it for the first time yesterday, along with my one and only cuddle coat and gold wedges.

I love the buttons and belt buckle as well! I have that same obsession .. :D the whole dress looks stunning as well! Well done! I can't wait until I'm that good at sewing (if I ever get there!).

Jannie, gorgeous! Love that skirt. Don't be shy, you obviously look great! :)

Cherry lips, great dress! super glam! love the "cuddle coat" as well, looks very cosy :)

Annie, you look fabulous! My teenage daughter, only a bit younger than you, commented on your photo: "She looks so mature. But not bad-mature like girls who dress trashy. Yay vintage! See, girls should see that if they want to dress like grown-ups, they should do it vintage and be pretty!"

So, thanks for the good influence on my young lady! You're a peach!
