This outfit is part Alice, and part Marie Antoinette. I think that's a pretty fair mix. The dress is something my aunt found at an estate sale last year, and this weekend I finally raised the hem to a much more appealing length! The original owner must have been somewhat taller than me.
The hat is from Betsy Hatter, and it arrived just in time for the beautiful spring weather this week! It has so much romantic simplicity, not to mention looks pretty on display above my dresser.
This outfit is absolutely STUNNING. The length is perfect, and the color and fit are divine. The hat and petticoat are such a great pairing with it. Lovely lovely lovely!
It most certainly does channel a sense of both of these lovely ladies, and also (to me) has a wee bit of an early (1950s) Bardot vibe (the dress more than the beautiful hat).
Sweet, timelessly gorgeous spring ensemble (love the inclusion of nude fishnets, BTW).
Wow!!! In addition to Alice and Marie, it reminds me a bit of Belle from Beauty & the Beast's blue dress. Or what Belle would wear if she had a casual day date or something.
Beautiful dress! You wear all your dresses so well! I'd love to see your dresser too, it sounds lovey - there is something about beautiful dressing tables and duchesses that just makes me swoon.
I honestly don't know what to say because everything has been said, but this is definitely a very pretty outfit and set of photos. I love the hat with it. +Victoria+
