Okay, first, this is a gorgeous dress, which is the most important thing. And I almost hate to say it’s “plus size”. A great dress is a great dress! But if you’re a vintage shopper, you know as well as I do that anything larger than size 4 disappears as fast as it appears on the shelves. People are always on the lookout!
Wouldn’t you feel like a million bucks in this dress? It’s officially a Size 14 – but look at that shape and style. Anybody from a 10 to a 16 could wear it, I bet. Belt it, wear it with flats for a fun daytime dress, and of course with bare sandals or stilettos for a knock-em-dead party dress.
And it’s silk. Now to me, silk is not this untouchable too-good-to-be-true fabric. To me it’s wearable, usually totally washable (the only danger being a bit of shrinkage, so try it if the dress is a little loose anyway) – comfortable year round, because the fabric breathes – and, well, it FEELS good.
I found this treasure at Six Cats Fun Vintage boutique on Etsy. Juliet, the shop owner/curator, has some fabulous finds there – and great prices – and colors you are going to love for Spring.
Check it out. Seriously, you’re going to thank me!
