Nice thread! I love this type of clothing, dresses particularly but left all my summer dresses in Warsaw

Beautiful apron dresses can be found here: http://www.looklikecookie.com/shop,43.html

I saw them before Christmas in one of the Warsaw's shopping malls where they had a Christmas stand but decided not to buy one as my first thought was: "too cute to be covered them with tomato sauce" They look much better than on these pictures and the quality of fabric is really nice. If you think of getting yourself a nice apron go for one of them.

Last Summer Naf NAf had some of these dresses in their selection, they were black or red with white dots. Very pretty and affordable, but i do not think they have them anymore for now at least.

The only other suggestions i can make is C&A, Manor, Globus, Vogele, Pfauen have a rather large selection of dresses, (at least in Basel they do) have you tried any of them?

Thanks a lot for the link - but my polish is not quite so polished (sorry for that ) will say I don't understand a thing.

No no! You can go to English version for this. I think I send you the link with English version already but maybe it converts to Polish language automatically when you click on it and then you have to find 'English version' yourself? Try one more time. It worked fine yesterday

Holy! haha that's not quite the kind of apron dress I was thinking about

Yesss, upper right corner says 'ENGLISH' ) Which apron on the website do you like best? The most expensive one is 270PLN which is around 60 EUR so not a fortune. I only don't know how much delivery to Switzerland would cost. Any idea?

Upsss.... the Apron Dress, Apron Dress! Sorry You are lookng for dresses and I come up with aprons, silly me. Now you will remember me forever:P They are still nice though!

I have been thinking about this and it sounds like a very good idea indeed, so let's see who would be in and when we could go!

OMG! I would totally LOVE to go!! Haven't been to London in YEARS!!!

Me too and me neither

Get one from Maggie Tang in China"

Just for fun (#2) and some inspiration for the Spring season

Thank you! Some beautiful dresses you found!

The models look really bizarre - like they are transvestites...

Some of the models do look strange alright, tattoos all over and lots of make up.. Not a typical desperate housewife

Very cute Isabelle. That's it, I'm getting bangs!

(bets on how long it takes to regret it?)

LOL.


Yeah. That's the one where she's holding that cute coat in a weird way too. I don't know. Maybe the clothes are cut a bit strange too. I'd maybe skip that shop.

Do you have a list of shops in London????

Check the forum at 'What Katie Did' for UK/London fifties style shopping tips:

Their boutique in London BTW is a wonderful place to buy faux vintage-style lingerie. I swear for years by their bullet bras

And about Ebay, this shop:

http://stores.ebay.de/TopRunway?_rdc=1

is a real gem for custome made vintage style dresses, although not specifically with petticoats

Interesting lingerie but too much Dita Von Tesse for me

Hush girl, there is no such thing as "too Dita von Tees". :P

No? Why? It is very pretty indeed, but I wouldn't enjoy wearing it... I think? Not my cup of tea, too much covered but of course, she looks FAB.
