This is a real treat, this is one of my vintage dresses. I very rarely wear my real 50s numbers because they are so precious and well let's face this dress is nearly twice as old as I am, so it deserves to be treated with care.
All my modern reproductions come with names, and I didn't want her to feel left out. She is a beautiful green wild silk with a bamboo print so I called her Siobhan because she reminded me of the emerald isle.
It also marks the first calendar month of the "dress of the day" wardrobe documentary. 1 down 12 to go! And as has been noted, not a single repeat. It seemed fitting that the Siobhan as an original rings in the first month of bringing heel pencil skirts and old fashioned femininity to the world.
I would like to think that I have started to show just how much fun and variety you can have in a 50s style wardrobe. I actually think I get to be more of a chameleon than most women - well except for the quiff and the make up. I wouldn't want Marv thinking I had been monkey-napped.
I'd just like to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who drops by and reads my blog, it is so nice of you :)
And an EXTRA SPECIAL THANK YOU to Marv AKA Jo for all the lovely photographs you take of me, you are very kind and I hope people appreciate your input and photographic flare, the self portraits are no way near as good.
Dress: Siobhan Emerald green silk with bamboo flower print, dolmen sleeves
