Restyle raspberry dress

Restyle is a Polish clothing brand of alternative, goth, pin-up clothing (link to their website). I am only aware they exist because of this dress.


I've been coveting this dress for about.... a year. Or maybe more. I have been gazing at it, wishing I had an occasion or event to justify purchasing it. I can usually justify buying, well, most things, but for some reason I struggle with pretty party dresses at retail prices (unless I actually have something for which to buy it).

So I sat and gazed at this dress until Jay asked me why, if I loved it so much, I didn't just buy the bloody thing?

So I did. (It was on sale! Totally justified!)

And since I'm on  holidays from work with nothing better to do with my time, today I played dress-ups with it.




The dress is fully lined, AND it has 2 layers of tulle, so it floofs out perfectly and there is no need to wear a petticoat.


The lining hangs down a little bit but I REALLY DON'T CARE.


It kind of reminds me of Carrie's dress, but I think mine is way nicer. Hers makes her look like she's standing weirdly (or maybe she is).


ANYWAY.



Sigh. I'll never take it off.

  5. lovely, very lovely dress. but i can't understand that the lining is hanging ... sadly a lot of affordable retro lables doesn't sew perfectly. often flared skirts are left shorter than on the right - or something like that. ... sad.
    but as being such a talented satorialist shortening the hanging lining shouldn't be a problem to you. :)

  6. Don't (take it off)...it's absolutely, endlessly gorgeous on you. I adore the feeling of finally acquiring something you've yearned to have for so very long, and am delighted for you that you got to experience that with this stellar frock.
