The dress I posted about before, this 1980's vintage dress, finally came back from the dressmaker, having been shortened. I was originally not sure about the print but now it is back and I'm wearing it, I love it. A great winter dress, I really love the neck, shoulder and side seam detail. And I think as long as it is paired with fairly simple accessories I will feel comfortable in it so that I am wearing the print - and not the other way around!
Check out Covert Candy - they've had a design makeover with lots of new vintage goodies listed.
And Happy Pancake Day to you, I love an excuse to make pancakes. This evening, I'll be making these. With maple syrup...mmmm...

And pancakes- yummy! Although I'm not wild about maple syrup. Ironic, I like in the country that produces possibly the most maple syrup in the world and I don't even like it!
I love the shoulders. It is a fantastic dress. It is so cool how it is vintage and yet can be so modern-looking.
This is a great dress!

I love the dress make-over! Very beautiful and I don't find the print to be overpowering as can be the case with so many others. I also love the colors. Orange and black can sometimes look too 'Halloween', but this is perfect.
Is it really Pancake Day? I'll take that as a great excuse to make some then ;-)
I love that shoes. I´ve voted to you at chicisimo!

Love the colours and pattern of this dress. Really striking and it really suits you.
I have a few vintage items that need altering, I really must get on and do it instead of leaving them sat in my wardrobe gathering dust.
That dress looks fabulous on you! I love it!
