I once had a dress..
It was one of my all time favourites..
 |
| Here I am in January 2010 wearing that dress...(singing at a friend's wedding) |
And here I am in my best fisherwoman pose ...
Guess what happened to that dress?
MY.SISTER.LOST.IT.
I don't know how and she doesn't know how.
ANyway, I was gutted. (SHALLOW, or what?!)
It was my go to, dressup or dress down frock. So comfy it must have surely been made with me in mind.
 |
| I HOPED and HUNTED.. ANd a couple of weeks ago there she was like a beacon in the darkness staring at me from my screen via trademe.. (The first dress I've ever bought online.. and I wasn't actually looking for one!) |
 |
| Blue background, not red. |
 |
| WAY shorter (more like a top than a dress actually) |
 |
| SLEEVES still attached. (I foolishly removed the sleeves from the other one many many years ago as I found them annoying!! I kept them .. I had intended to reattach them..) |
 |
| Happy. (but remind me that bending over aint the best idea for photos, with my enormous endowments. Gah!!) |
 |
| Happy Days! I have a feeling Vintage Bird Girl fell in love with a skirt in similar delicious fabric.. |

That dress is gorgeous on you, thank goodness you found a replacement. The print does look extremely familiar! xxx
you look ab fab darling! so glad you found another one and the puppies are glorious whatever pose you decide upon! xxxxx
How wonderful that you found a replacement for your sweetie that went missing. It's not often you can find the same similar in vintage frocks a definite rarity. X
Huzzah! Replacement dress! The new dress is gorgeous with such a great pattern (don't you love it when there are lots of colours in the pattern to match with!) but what a shame about the old frock. XXX
Oh is is disappointing to lose a favorite. Yay for trademe! Replacement dress is gorgeous and the colour is lovely on you. I love your fisher woman pose made even better by your go to dress!
This is a happy ever after story! It was meant to be. I laughed about your fisherwoman quip. Doncha' know I'm in the stall next to yours.
Oh Oh I have had a dress with the same pattern....many years ago. I am so happy another one came your way.....perfect. I love the photo of you with the guitar.
Have a gerat weekend sweet.
love v
Surely that is your double teapot pose?
Hooray to a replacement frock, but how does one loose such a fab frock I ask??? Beats me! That print is so pretty, & yes very similar to my latest skirt. I love the length on you, & the sleeves are fab too. Xx
What luck. :)
Well done on finding a replacement even tho you weren't looking!! Looks fabulous and by the way, love your boots!!!
