I tried this dress on at the Bettie Page boutique in Las Vegas, but it’s arms were too narrow for me, which is a shame as it’s otherwise gorgeous.
It’s got a touch of nautical, but not so much that it can’t work in the winter as well or that it makes you feel like a cliche sailor pin up! It’s got a slight stretch, so is easy to wear and has a lovely fit.
With it’s full circle skirt it has a very 1950s look, though I felt that the interesting bow detail on the neck made me think of the 1930s as well, without a petticoat it could be styled that way if you wanted.
