Luscious colors on those dresses girls! Everyone's getting such nice stuff!

Lovely dresses everyone. I too love wiggle dress but have a hard time finding them in my size. There seem to be alot of fans of the color pink here.

 

[goldwyn girl]

Fabulous finds everyone :eusa_clap

Gorgeous!

I love this dress. There is some fading on the black part. Is there a way to spot dye a garment.

I have done this:

Take powdered Rit dye and put it in a spray bottle with rubbing alcohol. Take the dress outside and hang it on a tree or whatever,. In this case, as there is a non-black part to the dress, I suggest masking off the floral part with some paper or cloth pinned to it.
Spray the faded part lightly once, let it dry, do it again, so that any spots not covered get hit with the dye. Let it dry.
Take it to the dry cleaners and don't tell them what you did or they will not accept it, the dye doesn't hurt their equipment at all, but they will be paranoid about it.
The dry cleaning process will set the dye (9 times out of 10).
I have had great success with doing this on navy blue and black!

I'm picturing Deadpan out in the 10 below weather with her squirt bottle and a dress. Dye does freeze - right?

I just found the same identical coat that you posted above!

The seller is honestdragonchina, bit more expensive at about £100, but better than £300!

However, on second thoughts...these people are probably just copying the designs from whoever made the one you posted...funny they have the same backgrounds and everything... :/

Honestdragon are really good! ive had quite a few things from there, when i was a tad obsessed with alice in wonderland!

[MissHannah]

Oooh gorgeous!
I'm a huge fan of wiggle dresses but, as deadpandiva says, it's incredibly hard to get them to fit - they have to fit so perfectly and there are so many different proportions to be taken into consideration! They are always too short in the waist for me and too big around the boobs!

Oh blimey, that is stunning.

 

[Neany73]

I just got this from ebay, it's even better in reality!

 

[goldwyn girl]

Oh Nikki, I do love your knits.

Another impulse buy on eBay, but when I saw it, I just had to have it!

It's a house coat really, but I think I am just outrageous enough to wear it out in summer lol lol

It's just far too pretty to be kept indoors, and since when do I care what people think!

Well...according to the track and trace, this dress was delivered to me yesterday, at home. While I was at work. No card to say it's at the post office, and the site has an electronic signature that is clearly not mine, though I am convincing myself it looks like it might say my name, and some dihonest person has taken advantage of a stupid driver. Asked all my immediate neighbours and no one has it. I'll be phoning tomorrow, but I'm worried.
