An Oldie Like Me
This is an old vintage dress I bought for 50c way back in the late 90s.When I bought it,it was huge (size 20) so I had a friend take it in I just loved the pattern.The brand is "Design Room".I hadnt worn it for ages as I had to get motivated to do a couple of repairs on shoulder seams.Now its done I will be back to wearing it regularly.

Looking goofy again in a rush to get kids to school My little photogrpaher Miss 8yr old took it.I was near melting and it was only 8.30 in the morning,Its a humid day today so maybe not the best idea to wear this polyesterish fabric but damn its nice.

looking good, wish I were near melting, still -3 here,
I love it! It really suits you :) And because of the colours, you might be able to pair it with a long sleeve top underneath or something in cooler weather and pull it off!
(Not literally, of course! hehe! But you would rock it!)

It looks fabulous, the print is glorious and you are one hot lady. xxx
Looks fabulous on you :o) Scarlett x
I can't wait to train VB to take pics for me like that. How old is the dress P.S. did my comment yesterday offend you? Sometimes I am a bit blunt, sorry!
You look lovely, great colours and design, dee x
@Kitty What bluntness? lol I am pretty unoffendable unless someone is a snob or downright nasty lol.I have been flat out all day but am about to email you re your answer to me ebay question.
Miss 8 has been doing photis for me since she was not quite 5 and the dress I think early 70s.
Hmmm...did someone say nasty snob...here I am *batts eyelashes* Lol!
Great pattern on the dress, nice that your friend was able to chop it to exacting proportions! I still am against you calling yourself "Oldie" The dress okay, is vintage, but You really are so young looking! Give the spring chickens something to worry about, I daresay.
Have a lovely afternoon, hope it isn't too, too hot. Ew. I am a great fan of cold weather!

@The Widow Next Oh dear Kate you always make me feel good just lucky I dont do closeups lol.
I have a few dresses that need chopping and its something I will not do on my own.I must make my dress dummy the right size its vintage and doesnt want to stay in place.
Its been terribly humid here I think I want to go back to where we used to live the heat was more genteel on me.
You look gorgeous in that dress, I also love the design of it.
