The shirt waist
dress is a pinup staple. And I just don't have enough of this style in my
wardrobe! But the lovely Lottie L'amour had a Matilda from Lindy Bop going
spare, and was kind enough to.send it to me as a little gift! It's so cute -
the polka dots and vintage vibe make me wanna wear it to a fun fair and eat
some candy floss. (I can't explain where these things come from, they just
occur to me.)
Black Mary Jane Shoes - Primark
I am always amazed
at the price of Lindy Bop dresses. They really are incredibly reasonable, and a
great, cost effective alternative to a lot of the pricier pinup brands out
there. The Matilda is a shirt waist dress style - it has a collared neckline
with buttons through to the waist and a full, flared skirt. I am wearing a 22
with the buttons undone and a vest underneath - I like this look and would
struggle to do the buttons up anyway. Other than across the bust, the size 22
is a pretty good fit.
The Matilda is made
from a pretty think cotton - this is great for summery weather, but the dress
could do with a lining or being made from a slightly heavier cotton because the
fabric doesn't hold its fifties silhouette as well as it could and the fabric
can bring to your legs due to static. Matilda would work better with a
petticoat, but that makes it a little less casual which is what I like about
this style.
Underneath I'm
wearing my trusty comfort shorts - these prevent the dreaded chub rub. That
terrible chafe that plagues many in the summer months. These are my first pair
from the Big Bloomers company. I love the service from Big Bloomer - if you
have questions about any products they're always super quick to respond,
products are despatched quickly, and their website is full of actual plus size
women. Yay! I've worn these comfort shorts with a few outfits now and
they don't give me the same problem with static I have with other ones I own.
The fabric is light, breathable and stretchy, and the lace edging makes these
look a little more like lingerie which I like. If they peak out from underneath
something it's kinda cute. These sit above the belly button but because of my
big tum I'd like them a bit higher waisted to be honest - I quite like it when
I can tuck my shorts into my bra. Just gives a smoother silhouette.
All in all I think
this is super cute outfit, and perfect for the heat wave we're currently
experience. A cool little nod to my love of retro styling. Have you got
anything from the Big Bloomers Company? Have you tried Matilda? Let me know...
This is such a cute look with the buttons undone - I would never have thought of doing that, but will be something which I keep in mind as sometimes having a larger bust does ruin the fun of shirt dresses! You look so lovely though, the style and colour really suit you and as ever you like a total dream babe! :) xx
