Dress of the Day: Dollydagger’s Sailorette Dress
Well, hello sailor(ette)! It’s totally the wrong season for this dress here at Fashion Police Headquarters, but hey, it’s summer in Australia, so I feel justified in showing you this piece of utter cuteness.
Fold down collar, buttons down the front and that fabulous little nipped in waist all combine to create this fabulous, retro look. Wear with a pair of high heeled pumps and some bright red lipstick and just pretend it’s summer, even if it’s snowing…
Buy: Sailorette dress, £56, Dollydagger
I have to admit, I’m turned off by the horizontal / vertical stripes on this dress. The styling is cute, yes, but I can’t get over the mismatched stripes.
56 pounds??? i own this dress, i got it for about $35 australian…which is like..15 pounds?? around that…anf from Valleygirl..which is kind of just a cheap womens/girls chainstore. it is cute though..a little small in the bust area, i cant get the top button done up.
i actualy had the same problem, i tried a dress like this on in the summer (WAS DARK BLUEE AND WHITE THOUGH) and the bust was way too small
there was some other cute sailor dresses in newlook though
