What Diane Likes About This Dress
This is the kind of dress that will transport you when you wear it.
It makes you feel different, move different, respond different. It takes you out of the everyday. Some of that is the historical feeling the dress has. You start to think about those women and how they may have lived and felt. Some of it is the romance of the frilly femininity. I know it is not for everyone, but it is fun to experience. Even the toughest may feel themselves give in to this dress.
"Vintage style is timeless, feminine and completely open to your own interpretation". Rosie Lea
"Fashion should be a form of escapism" Alexander McQueen
