Dark red dress (by Australian label Hazel)

SOLD!


Pretty dark red dress. Slight empire shape, waist sits a little above the natural waist line. Very pretty fluttery sleeves. Small red buttons up the front from the waist. Flowy skirt that sits abit above the knee on me. Very soft and comfortable, and flattering. Made from very soft polyester that looks and feels very matte. The dress was made in Australia. The colour is best represented in the detail pic, at least on my screen – it is a soft, darker, almost a wine red.



*** MEASUREMENTS **********
all measurements taken flat, so please double where necessary

BUST: 18 inches (meant to be fairly loose)
WAIST: 12 unstretched, 16.5 stretched (inches) Please note the slight empire shape, so this sits slightly above the natural waist line, and so needs a little more room than your usual waist measurements :)
HIPS: free
LENGTH: 35 inches on dress form, falls above my knee
SHOULDERS: 13 inches (measured across back)
SLEEVE LENGTH: 7 inches at longest part of the flutter; falls about a third(ish) down upper arm

LABEL: Hazel

LABEL SIZE: S
Est. SIZE: extra small to small, maybe a smaller medium – as the waistband is elastic and the fit of the dress allows for some room and choice here

PRICE: AU$20

PAM Perks and Mini plaid shirt/blouse

SOLD!


PAM check/plaid blouse (or shirt, if you like:) ) in a soft, muted blue, with darker blue and dark red making up the pattern. Nice peter pan collar on typically masculine style. The sleeves tie up to make slightly puffed short sleeves; I have no idea how to explain this so please see the picture! :D Made from 100% medium-thicker weight cotton, very very soft (brushed, perhaps?) and comfortable. Ever so slightly fitted for more feminine shape, but far from tight (as you can see).
