    Oh Desiree, just when I don't think anyone could be more fabulous you go and do it with this frock. How amazing and utterly beautiful are you in it? I should be insanely jealous but after the awesome parcel that greeted me yesterday morning I'm just happy it belongs to you and nobody else. xxx

    I love the languid elegance of that first image and of the whole look. Fabulous forties dress - if it weren't for the VW shoes, you'd look like you had stepped through a beautiful time-warp!

    wow, absolutely love that dress, esp. what is happening at the neckline. I am a real fan on long dresses on other women b/c I struggle to pull them off myself, but seeing this makes me want to try again

    I love posts like this, with the model wearing the most awesome dresses and shoes. As I was looking at the pictures of you, I was thinking, "She really reminds me of Sarah from Misfit Vintage" and as I scrolled through your comments, yup, there she was! Clearly we both have great taste!
