Just another reminder of how I need to 'domesticate' myself some more before I move out of home - I had no idea that linen shinks when you put it in the washing machine, and to my horror this dress came out looking like something you'd buy for a 3 year old... thankfully with a bit of effort I was able to stretch it out to something approximating its original dimensions. You wouldn't be able to tell now, would you?
I really am falling in love with 60s clothing. I think there may a mod inside me trying to break out! I don't have Twiggy's legs but A-line shifts are quite forgiving on my pear shape, and they're just so refreshingly easy and casual. I may just pop over to Illamasqua and invest in a good nude lipstick... watch this space!

I adore 60s fashion- you're right too, a mini-dress can be more forgiving than at first look! I twin mine with bold coloured opaques if I'm having a bad leg day.
I am glad you were able to save the dress--really cute.
Super cute, I love it! I agree with Perdita, add cute tights, and this dress will last you right into autumn!
Cheers!

Ohh!!! I love it!!! It so twiggy!! I know same with me I just love 1960's clothing!!!
Yay, a fellow 1960s lover! I adore the 60s, it's such a neglected vintage style era. That dress looks great on you and I like your hair like that! :)
if people dressed their three year olds in cool clothes like that, it would be awesome. hehe. I agree that it looks so twiggy.
It is good to know the background of places and history of them.
I checked out other photos of that top model. In the one photo you linked me to I can sorta see a resemblance but otherwise I don't see it. I'll have to see what she looks like when she talks and stuff but thanks so much for telling me of another doppleganger. It's fun.
I didnt know it shrunk either! Lucky I know now!
I am having a giveaway on my blog for a westfield voucher to spend on hats & headwear, they have some vintage inspired items I think you'd like :)
so adorable! x hivennn
Lovely dress :)
