Out With a Bang

I am so lucky to have fabulously skilled friends who I can barter things with. Like this dress -- I had the pattern but knew I'd never get around to sewing it for myself. Donna found the fabric & offered to sew it because she had the time. I received the result on Saturday. Thanks, hon!


What I'm wearing:
Pink, grey, & white retro print dress, made by Donna of Original Sin Designs
Black wool ruffled bolero sweater, Kohl's
Black tights, Calvin Klein
Black pumps with silver buckle accent, Kenneth Cole
Silver chunky bead choker, Target
Sparkly dangle earrings, random accessory store
Giant faux-diamond cocktail ring, Icing
Pink & black flower hair pin, Icing

I've got a couple non-outfit posts scheduled for while I'm on vacay. And then, at some point, I hope to go nuts with a bunch of TropiGoth photos...

    I really like the cut and shape of this dress on you. It's also a nice pop of color mixed with the darker shades in the print, perfect for those of us who wear 98% BLACK AS OUR SOULS.

    This dress is magnificent. I mean, I know everyone posts glorious comments full of words like pretty, adorable, cute, etc. but WOW! This is a stunner. You said it's handmade? Do you remember the pattern maker and number?

    I was happy with how the dress turned out in my workroom, and overjoyed with how nice it looks on you. I second Sheila's comment, you DO look pinup-worthy. :D
