DRESSES MODELED (Hats, too) 04-23-03

Back / Home / Next

I hope this page gives you a little perspective on the dresses.  I was the only model available at the time, I will have other people modeling dresses so you can see what they look like on a variety of figures, please don't judge the dresses by the model.  Just realize that most times the dresses can hide your worst features and show off your best ones, just depends on how it is made.

This is the Lola P. Large, 2 piece, sleeveless under dress, full length coat. Back view, this dress is lace overcoat and under dress also. I had a long 1/2 slip on with it.  Hat back view is my line of Reproduction Victorian hats, this one is brown nylon straw, with lots of flowers, brim can be turned up or down. Note adjustable tie back. Side view, note generous cut. Would also fit and look good on a smaller figure.

My measurements when this picture was taken

I wear a size 14-18 depending on manufacturer.  I am 5'3", had on a small heel with this dress. My bust is 41" around, waist is 39", I have a fairly large stomach, measured 5" below waist is 45". The waistline on this dress is sewn, but is almost straight down from the underarm.

About 5 buttons buttoned. Brim turned down on hat. 2 buttons buttoned.  Brim turned up on hat.
I still have several dresses like this one in stock, this is lace overdress with a sheer dress underneath. 
Front view, this is the white dress I have in stock, handkerchief hem, 2 piece, size Large, Lola P.

Side view, if I were going to wear this dress, I probably would go for a larger size or a girdle. Fits a little too tight for my taste because it shows my tummy in the front view picture. Hat is a white straw Cappelli, trimmed in white ostrich and netting, alternating around brim.  Price is $45.00.  Can make this one in red or other colors if I can find base hat. Still in stock.
These pictures were taken last year when I wore a size 12-16.  Hats run around $65.00 each, some less, some more.  Look for pictures of all this line of hats coming in the future.
This is one of the sleeveless dresses, 2 piece, handkerchief hem style, coordinating fabric on under dress, I still have several like this available, crinkle material, very packable.  Hat is one that I made, very large, picture style brim.  Look on hat page for more pictures of hats, more pictures coming soon. This is one of the older style dresses on the left, 2 piece, buttons all the way down front, (dress no longer available) hat is new reproduction Victorian hat line that I carry in all different colors.  Customer pictured on right modeling another hat, this one with a bird on it..
