Bouquet Light | Vintage 1960s 1970s Floral bouquet Springtime at Midnight Flared Dress
The story:
We love the flintiness of this dress. The pretty floral print, the way the skirt flows, the way the sleeves flit in the wind (We find this sort of flutter sleeve particularly flattering by the way ;)
The midnight-black background makes for a good, earthy feel while the light touches of slightly-dark ecru, turquoise, lavender and burgundy lifts it ever so lightly.
And the way the fabric is cut on the bias on the skirt allows for a feeling of petals falling down the skirt.
