This Swirl dress was in a big ol' lot of vintage clothes my sister in law Amy gave me, although at the time, I didn't know what a Swirl was, I just thought it was cute! It seems to have little partridges hanging out all over, and best of all, huge pockets!
Swirls are wrap dresses most popular in the 50s and 60s, that started out being sold as aprons, but come on, they're just too cute to stay at home! They seem to be quite in demand now, and I see why, they're the perfect "just throw on" dress. And in this case, a "hide a gross scaly sunburn" dress.
And of course, little cousin Dottie wanted in on the photos. She blows you a kiss, and wishes you all a happy weekend!

The print of this dress is absolutely adorable! They just don't make fabrics with this print anymore, not fair! I love huge pockets too (although my often pack them much too full when I don't carry a bag!) and the tie waist detail is lovely too, simple but effective
i love the print, it's so sweet
