(1) to scope the place out and see if I wanted to get a booth next year, and
(2) check out House of Dots (webpage also in English, just click on the Brit flat in the upper right corner).
While there, I tried on two dresses: a brown and pink cupcake dress.....

What a heavenly fit! It's not just the adorable retro look you will find, but also satin lining, details in seams (like piping), hidden buttons or fabric covered buttons, and the biggest sash bows. Ever. The price is right, too- for the quality and the craftsmanship I would even consider it a bargain.
Since the husband and I are going to a party this coming weekend, we wanted to go with a coordinated look. I didn't buy either dress- yet- because we are going to see what is available for him. Somehow we both got hooked on the concept of him wearing a corduroy sport coat. The color we find for his coat will determine which color dress I buy, and I only have to wait until Tuesday to place my order. Not only that, but the amazing sales women were also willing to part with a small piece of the material used for the piping/lining so he can have a coordinating pocket square in his sportcoat. How great is that?
The husband suggested I purchase "only one for now" with a little glint in his eye. I have a hunch my second favorite will end up under the Christmas tree. Now, all I have to do is exercise patience for the next couple of days.
Those are cute dresses! I can't wait to see which one you get.
ReplyDeleteHehe. Your husband sounds like a sneaky little devil, which should work out nicely for you this season. Good luck getting the outfits in order. You'll look smashing no matter what you wear!
