Frock on Friday

 




I just bought this fab dress on Monday and have been dying to show it to you all, and what better excuse than Frock on Friday?
It's a late 20s crepe, the tailoring is superb and it fits me beautifully. It needs quite a bit of mending (not to mention steaming, woops!) but it was cheap so I'm not complaining.




I love the sleeve details but it was hard to get a good pic. Ring, gift from darling Vix.




Paired with 40s grosgrain topper, a bit too tatty to sell so *damn* I might just have to keep it too, LOL.


Who else is doing Frock on Friday?? I've got my eye on you all!

    The dress looks as though it was made for you! I am sure after a slight steaming it will be perfect. ;)

    Thanks for your feedback Pauline...it is what I suspected. Saying that, I stayed up all last night, watching a Joan Crawford movie (very apt) and loading some dress patterns onto a new Etsy shop. (etsy.com/laughingduckvintage) and got one sale immediatley! Maybe if I get some lovely quality vintage like yours I will do ebay.
