Petrol Duchess- Vivien of Holloway

The minute I put on this 1950's Halterneck Petrol Duchess Dress, I felt like a princess! It is absolutely gorgeous.  It's full circle skirt sits right on your hips just under the very supportive and flattering boned bodice. It is perfect enough for a wedding, black tie event or a just a fun night on the town. I think it will be the perfect style for ringing in the New Year too! The material is satin and so dressy! It has no stretch, so measure accordingly. The is plenty of room to add a petticoat if desired. You can also get this dress in several other colors and prints. Many of the Vivien of Holloway dresses are limited edition, so make sure to get your order in when you see something you love.  

The Vivien of Holloway brand was born in 2000.  They make the most beautiful clothing in vintage style and have adapted it for the modern woman.  They offer a wide range of styles and sizes.

If you happen to be in London, you may go to the Vivien of Holloway shop on Holloway Road. or if you're like me, you can see them here at vivienofholloway.com.

Please tell them Buttercream Bettie sent you!

I am wearing sparkly earrings from Revere Folie.  They are part of the Christmas range, but I will wear them all year!  My heels are from Lola Ramona, who is known for fun show stopping shoes!
