ebay is pretty much a dead cert. and Vivien of Holloway does a white satin dress that I'm sure would be perfect, plus you could wear it again after the party!

you could also be betty grable in my favorite costume of hers, which i (tragically) couldn't find a picture of - the dress she wears in "moon over miami" with the blue top and white skirt with the stars!!

yeah, people might not know who you are though. i personally just want an excuse to have an outfit like that. lol

Vintage Vogue has amazing dress patterns. The only catch is they're about $25 at Jo-Ann's. I bought a pattern from them from 1954. Super cute.

Well girls, I ended up not taking the mink sweater, couldn't find anything I liked well enough to go with it! And then I totally forgot to take the berry colored knit outfit! I took the hat, shoes, and jewelry, and left the dress. We were about an hour from home when I realized it, :mad:
Didn't take the velvet dress either, lol.... I tried it on and had forgotten it was too tight in the sleeves and I didn't have time to work on it!

Anyhoo, we still had fun! Here's a few pics!

I spray painted some satin shoes gold to wear with the wiggle dress. Not a perfect match, but better than any other gold shoe I saw in the stores. I ended up wearing pearls with it, they go with everything right!

You look wonderful Nikki!!

OT: There is this Canadian show I watch called Corner Gas... and for the life of me I couldn't think who this one actress reminded me of... I actually thought I saw her somewhere before, but now I know!! She looks like you!! Her name is Gabrielle Miller and she plays Lacey Burrows... here's some photos of her.

Ohairas you are so beautiful and all your clothes look like they were made for you. I am in love with that gold dress and jacket.

Clothing Quandaries

Hello Ladies,
I am always finding myself in need of outfit help and would love some input on my latest clothing quandary.

I just found this dress for a few dollars at an antique store, it fits wonderfully and looks great on but I have yet to wear it because I lack the shoes to match it.

My question to you ladies is what kind and color shoes would you pair with this dress?

Thank you very much in advance for your fashion wisdom!

Well, black goes with everything, but if you can find a pair of shoes in the same shade of red, that would be amazing. Or even - white shoes with a red accent on them. Ooooh! Or just white shoes? Then again, it depends how else you plan to accessorise it. Hat, glove, coat, jewellery? (perhaps one of those necklaces hanging up on the door!)
