I've been eyeing off this fab 40s crepe dress for a while now. It's been hanging in the laundry, teasing me with its rather small waist size, and I was determined to get into it!
This is the dress I showed you a bit of in my last post, and I must admit I did these photos a few days ago...yes, I am a FOF cheat! It's way too hot to be wearing this kind of outfit all day, as I write this it's 10am and already 33 degrees, for the next few months it'll be a case of 'get the photos done quickly in the morning before I pass out from heatstroke'.

Just for fun I've donned my favourite gloves, bought at a theatres' costume department sell-off (next year I'm insisting that Desiree comes with me!). Off-white lycra trimmed with purple taffeta...perfect.
I've got a busy day ahead, full of appointments with VB, I'll be back later on to see all your frocks...you WILL be wearing one, won't you??
I'm so Jealous of your little waist ,I know how tiny it is....You must have a trail following you in your town!!
