I got a new lacy petticoat last week, so thats how this outfit started. Playing around with it, I realized it was like a circle skirt, perfect for layering, something I haven't done before. So I put another red petticoat underneath and voila! Extra fluffy. I can put more under too, but that will have to wait for a circle skirt.
Then came the dress, a fabulous frock from Fab Gabs, I put on to model and didn't want to take off. So it came home with me.
And while looking for a hat, I saw this wonderful Christian Dior from Xtabay and knew it would be perfect.
Perfect for an unusually sunny and warm Saturday. I would like more of those please.

That dress looks so adorable with the red petticoat peeking out underneath!
that whole outfit it super cute, but I have to say that the big floppy hat is my favorite part!
LOVE that hint of red that peeks out (when you're not showing it off ;o) ). And the gloves....and glasses...and hat!! *sigh*

Lovely photos. Everyone needs a red petticoat (or 3). You just can't help but feel amazing with heaps of fluffy red fabric tied around you!
I wouldnt want to take that dress off either! It looks great on you and make your hips look tineeeee.

So your outfit is so stunning Solanah! I love your petticoats and the ribbon on the hat is the perfect compliment. The dress is to die for, so can I just say that I would love a copy of your exact outfit?
Where do you get your amazing petticoats? Online or at vintage shops? I'd love to know ~ I have one, but it's only knee length which is a bit to short to do a proper 50s style.
xox,
bonita of Depict This!

absolutely beautiful! love the hat!
The hat is amazing! glad you're getting nice weather x
That is one amazingly gorgeous dress. I have recently started attaining my vintage wardrobe. And sadly gorgeous items are so few and far between in my country (New Zealand). Im putting this down to the fact that we are a small country and not really that old...And we have an ageing population..that all want to hold on to their clothes! Ohwell, the searching is fun!
This dress is stunning! I'd kill to have a petticoat like that!
It's nice to see a full outfit post again. It feels like you haven't done that in a while :)
Increible, you look lovely!
With the red petticoat it's so awesome.... are your petticoat vintage too ?
You look fabulous! Love the dress its simply divine.

I absolutely love this outfit! The hat is perfect and the dress is darling. Enjoy your day!
My goodness, this outfit is amazing =] I just adore the whole thing...I love how you wear gloves, such a simple little thing that makes the outfit look so elegant. The print on the dress is also so cute and I love how it contrasts with the red.
Beautiful =]

Oh I love that dress! The hat is beautiful as well. If you want to see some petticoat magic, check out the picnic scene in The Pajama Game!
Very pretty! I love the return of full skirts, but I don't know if I'll have the balls to really wear a petticoat too. But a girl can dream, right? :-D
Relatable Style
How fun! Love the polka dots and red lace combo. :)
Gorgeous! I am so jealous of the fabulous hat :-)
That polka dot fabric is amazing how it decreases in size to the waist. I would love to find something like that. and the petticoat...great color. Have you ever worn the petticoat alone as a skirt?
You look lovely, and I've always been a sucker for the red petticoats! They are so much fun!
I ADORE the area you took your photos in! Gorgeous little house/neighborhood!!
Gorgeous. I love the dress and hat. Do you wear slips between you and the petticoats? I find my petticoast awful scratchy on the skin!
You do look like you stepped right out of the 50's. Love the dress and the sunglasses.
oh! the touch of red on the hat! perfect : )
Wow! That is stunning! You look gorgeous. I recently got a red petticoat for a 1950s dress I sewed for Christmas. Mine was polka dotted too! So cute. I love the hat! You're awesome.
that's just too pretty :) I wrote before that you look like Scarlett O'Hara, didn't I? :)
Oh my the red crinoline is to die for!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥
Makes me think of Gone With the Wind when Rhett buys Mammy the red silk petticoat :)
You look so beautiful!! Outfit looks amazing with the hat and the peticoats!
Those petticoats are fabulous!

Layering petticoats-- what a fun idea! I just might "steal" it ; )
You look so adorable; this is such a cheery outfit. I'm in love with that hat, too!
Such a gorgeous outfit. I LOVE the hat- stunning! Such classic elegance, and perfect for Spring :)

You look absolutely gorgeous!

The dress is amazing! I can totally relate to not being able to take it off -- as I cannot stop looking at it. So gorgeous!
Oh my gosh, you are too cute. The silhouette of this outfit is just perfectly ladylike and sweet. I love the hat and accessories. Perfectly styled!

Lovely! So beautiful and sweet at the same time! Love how the ribbon on the hat matches the petticoat =)
That's such a nice outfit! Love the layered petticoats, it's such a nice fluff.
that is an amazing dress. I love the polka dots graduating in size! And the petticoat is FAB.
GAHHHH this dress is so cute! and i love it with the red, i need to get out my colored crinnies. did you see my new polka dot dress? its super cutness and has a very similar collar. when i come to visit next we should wear them on the same day and be twinsies....or not..LOL

House of Shoes
I love the combination of red and brown (is that brown) - so cute! I hope you did something awesome that day because I really hate putting together such a good outfit and then having nothing to do in it :(
The petticoats are vintage, I got them all at the shop I work at. The longer, authentic 50s ones are very hard to find, so I snatch them up whenever I see them at a good price :)

Solanah
New to your blog... LOVE this look (and so many others you've posted), ditto on everyone elses compliments on the red peekaboo petticoat. And those gloves were a perfect touch!
Everything about this look is absolutely my style... but no info on those supercute sunglasses! Vintage or modern-vintage-inspired?
Looking forward to spending as much time as I can manage searching your archives... thanks for the fun inspiration :)
Adorable dress... perfect for a sunny summer day.
Happy-to-be-Mrs.D, thanks! The glasses are vintage :)
