Daria | Vintage 1970s 1980s Dusky rose pink Dress with Embroidery and Mesh cut out Motifs
The story:
Dusky peach-pink has somehow wriggled its way back into the modern fashion world as a compliment to the other warm neutral colours such as browns and beiges. It is a quiet, sweet and really quite versatile in-between.
This vintage 1980s/90s dress with her subtle colouring made us fall in love with pink once more. It is just a little bit orange, a little bit pink, a little bit beige, a little bit brown. And the best part is, it is piped so beautifully with a braided piping; has the best matching buttons in perfect shape and embroidered feather motifs with a cutout covered with mesh to keep things decent.
Only pockets could make this even more of a 'need' than a 'want' ;)
Pinned?: No.
