DRESS NO. 6

Yesterday I wore this dress at work and after lunch some of my wonderful colleagues snapped some quick photos of me eating watermelon and wearing watermelon at the same time - almost too good to be true.
This dress is bought at Timeless Vixen Vintage - they used to have an Etsy shop, but now you can find all the beautiful dresses here instead http://www.timelessvixen.com/.

Dress no. 6 is a cute 1950s white cotton dress with strawberry and watermelon print.

DRESS NO. 5

This dress is one of my absolute favorites for summertime. I bought it one summer, I think five years ago, in one of the best vintage shops I've ever seen: Laura Dols in Amsterdam - http://lauradols.nl/. This shop is simply incredible, especially if you're into 50s dresses and I visit it every time I'm in Amsterdam.
When I bought it, the roses were bright red, but after a dry cleaning they faded a lot. Now I'm extremely careful about dry cleaning. If anyone knows a good dry cleaner in Copenhagen who knows a bit about vintage clothing, please let me know!


Dress no. 5 is a beautiful white 1950s cotton dress with (what used to be) red roses and green leafs.

DRESS NO. 4

This dress I wore last year for my birthday - to me there's just something about this white dress with the girly pink flowers that screams BIRTHDAY PARTY!
I bought it in a lovely second hand shop called Prag, just two minutes from my home - I've found a lot of really cute dresses here. Unfortunately they don't have a web shop, but if you're in Copenhagen you should definitely check it out. Have a look at https://www.facebook.com/praggenbrug.


Dress no. 4 is a sweet 1950s cotton dress with pink flowers and black dots.

DRESS NO. 3

I bought this dress in London a few years back in one of the Beyond Retro shops. It was in the winter time so this beauty was held hostage in my closet for a long time before it finally came out. I just LOVE the color, it's the perfect light blue.

Dress no. 3 is a 1950s (maybe early 1960s) light blue wiggle dress with an attached blue belt with white drops.

DRESS NO. 2

I bought this dress in the vintage shop FN92 in Copenhagen around springtime 3 or 4 years back and it's been one of my favorites ever since. It's just really simple with beautiful details - e.g. the dotted collar and lovely light yellow buttons all the way down.
Dress no. 2 is a sweet 1950s yellow and cream/white striped cotton dress.

DRESS NO. 1

This dress might not be the first vintage dress I ever bought, but it's without doubt the first vintage dress that made my heart beat a little faster and it really kicked off my collection. The day I discovered this beauty I was hooked! I bought the dress at my all time favorite vintage shop in Copenhagen - FN92 - where I've found so many gorgeous dresses through the years. The webshop is definitely worth a look - www.fn92shop.com.
Dress no. 1 is a 1950s intensive red silk dress with a full skirt and a flattering squared neckline.
