Pretty In Pink Layers Like a 1920 Cupcake
April 30, 2009
From my last vintage shopping adventure I found much more than just accessories- in fact, I even found *two* dresses from the 1920s that fit me exactly. Wow, what finds- one is a wedding dress (post to come soon, patience!) and the other is this Spanish Flamenco dress!
Talk about something that makes you want to spin and twirl, this was an incredible find. From the rose coloring to the puffy layered sleeves- I feel like a giant tiered cake ready to go dancing.
This dress is incredible- and the back is something to look at as well. Nothing but eye-hooks (which makes it difficult to put on by yourself, definitely a two person job dress). Which is why in these photos I only hooked one or two to keep it from falling off for photos, you can see in the top photo with the sleeves it is unbuttoned. Otherwise it is a nice fit.
It’s so shiny, too- makes me feel like a giant cupcake, nom! The way it moves is heavenly, and there is plenty of skirt- layers and layers. Definitely has some weight on it which is also quite nice, you can really feel the movement of the dress.
It is in pretty great condition; all it needs is a cleaning and maybe a steam press for an overall polished look- but it is otherwise ready to go. This is a dress that brings occasions to it.
