1950′s style mint green cocktail dress

Sydney Festival this year is absolutely fabulous! I wanted to take my divine Louboutins for a well deserved outing and had to make a dress to compliment such a stunning pair of stilettos.

1950s style cocktail dress in mint green taffeta with red highlights and an abundant petticoat was the least I could do… I don’t think I’ve ever received as many compliments for a single outfit!

But seriously, look at those heels – aren’t they to die for?!

On the drawing table

I managed to get my hands on a box full of vintage patterns from 30s, 40s and 50s and now I’m eager to begin experimenting with them. Plan is of course to use these patterns as a base to create some unique designs of my own.

Accessories shopping online

I found these wonderful little items on AlicePleasance.etsy.com and fell in love with them. I just received my little parcel and the items are just as adorable in real life! Warmly recommended for any vintage goddess out there!
