GownTown Vintage Floral Boat Neck Sleeveless Party Swing Dress with Belt

I'm so excited to announce a new collaboration with GownTown Vintage. I will be showcasing three lovely dress from GownTown, staring with this Vintage Floral Boat Neck Sleeveless Party Swing Dress with Belt.   It features a red and white striped gown with nautical print in navy blue.

I'm a lover of all things vintage and in particular vintage dress in the Hepburn swing style like this. It features a contrast white boat neck collar, white button down front, and comes with a matching belt.

At 5'6” this dress falls just at my knee and the full skirt allows for a petticoat for a fuller silhouette in the style of classic vintage, but also looks perfect and flattering as is.  I think I would like to try this dress with a white or perhaps a pink petticoat at some point down the road.

The fabric is a nice weight, not sheer, so no extra undergarments like a slip or camisole are necessary and not too thick so you can wear it in any season. The fabric also has some stretch to it so you really get a shapely but comfortable fit. The packing wrinkles came out with just a light steaming.

You will need to pay close attention to the sizing information. I normally wear a size XS in US sizes and according to the sizing after looking at the size info I ordered this dress and all my GownTown dresses in size small. They all fit perfectly!

To style this dress I chose a classic pearl necklace and earrings and white peep toe heels.  I also learned how to do a beehive hair style.  After watching several very videos claiming to be easy and failing at all attempts, I finally devised my own strategy (which actually is easy!) and I hope to make a tutorial on it soon.
