Fun Flamingos! Dolly and Dotty

The Natalie Retro Flamingo Swing Dress from Dolly and Dotty is just the cutest!  It's a beautiful dress that you will love to wear throughout the summer and really any time!  I love the fit and comfort of it.  The Natalie Swing features a fitted bodice with a flattering sweetheart neckline.  I love the wider straps and the button detail on the chest.  The full circle skirt has plenty of room for a petticoat to show off those pretty pink embroidered flamingos!  The material is a nice soft cotton and elastane mix with a little stretch to it.  It also has pockets, which is a huge plus! 










I can't wait to wear this on my Florida trip next month!  







Dolly and Dotty always have high quality dresses and they fit very well on full figures!  You can get their styles in sizes up to UK 24.  I have always loved every style too!  The prints and designs are perfect for the modern lady who loves a vintage feel.  




You can find their dresses at dollyanddotty.co.uk or at stockists all over the world!  You will love your purchase! 

I wore my Bettie Page Aria Heels in Peach for a few of these shots.  They are my some of my favorite heels and I wear them all the time!  It was also nice to go barefoot in pics for a change!  My earrings and bangles are from Splendette, in a mix of blue and pink.  That gorgeous hair flower is made by Shzam Pin Up Hair Flowers, with orchids and green peppers!

Pretty 40's Tea Dress

The Pretty 40's Style Tea Dress from Pretty Retro is an absolute perfect dress for a Summer outing!  The Ditsy print reminds me of a beautiful sunny day!  There's something about it that just makes me happy when I'm wearing it.  The yellow and orange hues are beautiful together.  The 40's Tea Dress has a sweetheart neckline that flows in to a gathered bust detail with a cute tie.  I love the wide fitted waist, as it is very flattering!  It also has tie gathers on the shoulders to create a really pretty look.  The flutter sleeves are great too, they won't restrict your movement.  You'll love the full skirt on the Tea Dress as well!  You can find this in a range of sizes from UK 8-18.  There are a few prints to choose from in this style. It's a great look for dancing the night away or meeting friends at that fancy tea house.  Either way you will look and feel like a ray of sunshine!

Styling this outfit was a lot of fun because of the fun colors!  I have had this coral colored hat for a while and ever found the right look for it.  I was so happy to see that I could wear it with my Pretty 40s Tea Dress. I stuck with the orange and yellow theme and stacked bangles from Splendette, Bow and Crossbones and Lucky Lou Shoes.  My earrings are by Bow and Crossbones and are the Marbled Yellow Carved Hoops.  These gorgeous yellow shoes are from Banned Apparel. The Unforgettable Pumps are so comfortable!  They have a square heel, so they are very sturdy for walking and dancing.

It also has the pleats along the back waistband as well, which adds a really neat detail.  It has a modest cross over v-neck line. The Megan is also available in other prints and a short sleeve version as well.  I can't wait to see the other new dresses coming out in this collection!
